DAY TRIP: JAMAICA POND LANTERN PARADE

Re-title...NIGHT TRIP: JAMAICA POND LANTERN PARADE

What better way to adjust yourself to fall daylight savings time than with a parade! Jamaica Pond Lantern Parade  tradition has you covered. The pond is part of Boston but located just on the outer fridge of the city proper.

This unique happening is a celebration used to ring in the new night hours and is a special  after Halloween treat and an amazing image to behold.  

Envision thousands of families with small children in costumes, older adults and hipsters

alike parading around Jamaica Pond with homemade lanterns. The spectacle can be viewed for miles. It not only is beautiful to look at but also so special to be a part of. Even not being of that community you feel enveloped with a great spirit of fellowship.

The Jamaica Pond Lantern Parade began in 1984 and is still happening every fall around daylight savings. Due to popularity now a days the Jamaica Pond Lantern Parade is held over two nights.
