Dedicate a Lantern – Lanterns on the Slaney
Lanterns on the Slaney is the emotional heart of the Pulze Festival — a two-day river ceremony that brings our community together through remembrance, reflection, and hope.
On Saturday night, the river becomes a place of memory. Lanterns are gently launched onto the Slaney in honour of those we have loved and lost. Its a moment to pause, reflect, and remember lives that shaped us and remain in our hearts.
On Sunday night, the festival closes with a celebration of life. Lanterns once again light the river, this time representing both those we remember and those who are still with us. It is a powerful celebration of love, pride, resilience, and connection — a reminder that life continues, bonds endure, and community carries us forward.
By dedicating a lantern, you are celebrating:
-
Someone you have lost but will never forget
-
Someone you love and appreciate today
-
Someone who inspires you and makes you proud
Each lantern represents a story, a memory, and a life that matters.
All proceeds from lantern dedications support the Pulse Festival’s community and wellbeing initiative the Verida Project, helping us create spaces of connection, support, and shared experience.
Light a lantern.
Share a memory.
Celebrate life — past, present, and always.
