This year, Emma was especially excited because she had designed her lantern to honor her late grandmother, who had loved the festival. The lantern was decorated with beautiful patterns and colors that Emma felt represented her grandmother's spirit. On the night of the festival, Emma and her family arrived at the park, where the lanterns were displayed before being released.
