Hope Floats Water Lantern Event

Hope Floats will provide a positive, family-friendly outlet for Montgomery area residents to honor a deceased loved one with a customizable paper lantern, which will be released at sunset on the Alabama River.

Made possible by a grant from the Mary Katherine Archibald Blount Fund, this event will raise money to support the expansion of the Riverfront Greenway Trail to the north, from the Cypress Inlet Bridge. Once complete, the Montgomery Lions Club Segment of the existing trail will include unique elements for sensory learning and play, as well as engagement with nature, specially designed for sight-impaired children. It will also serve to extend the existing trail for all bike and pedestrian users an additional 0.6 miles to the north of Downtown Montgomery, to a new trailhead at Shady Street.
