Dozens of people on a parade through Morningside Park carry colorful illuminated handmade lanterns which are reflected in the pond on a warm night in New York City.

Morningside Lights returned with a fleet of awe-inspiring and colorful lanterns, which illuminated its procession from Morningside Park to College Walk on Sept. 21. With “In Retrospect: 100 Years of New York Art” as the theme, our community and neighbors created handmade lanterns celebrating 100 years of art and artists that have inspired and shaped our vision of New York City. Magical!
