The Confluence Project culminated with a magical moonlit lantern paddle on Friday May 25th 2018 at the Retreat Meadows in Brattleboro Vermont, to start an annual tradition celebrating and honoring our waterways. In partnership with the Vermont Performance Lab and the CT River Conservancy, the paddle drew hundreds of paddlers who took to the serene waters to watch the dusk folding into night with friends and community members. The night air was punctuated by the glow of luminaries and lanterns that were constructed during a series of community lantern-workshops hosted by the River Gallery School.
