Tuesday morning also has Lantern Parade from 10:15 - 10:45 AM a German tradition called Martin’s Day a religious observance in Germany that is particularly popular with children. It is dedicated to St. Martin of Tours and celebrates modesty and altruism - both values commonly associated with Saint Martin. Families walk with lanterns through their communities in Germany to ‘bring light into the darkness’. In northern Germany the celebration is called Lantern Festival. (Laternenfest) and while keeping the topic of kindness and charity, it is not connected with the catholic St. Martin. It is still a children’s festival with lanterns being built at home or at school.
