The City of Grand Junction will host the fifth annual Water Lights at Night event from 5-8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Butterfly Pond at Las Colonias Park. Admission is free. In addition to the usual “evening of food, music, lantern decorating and glowing messages cast onto the water,” a city press release said the event would conclude with a special Colorado 150/America 250 drone show presented by Brightflight Drone Shows. Attendees can purchase lantern kits in advance for $8 each or a pack of six for $42, while kits purchased on the day of the event will cost $10. Each kit includes a lantern, LED tea light and two markers for decorating. Attendees are encouraged to bring additional markers, stickers or other materials to personalize their lanterns. Pre-purchased lantern kits will be available for pickup beginning at 5 p.m. the evening of the event. Lanterns will be launched onto the Butterfly Pond around sunset, around 6:45 p.m.
