The Morningside Lights procession begins in Morningside Park at 116th Street and Morningside Avenue at 8PM. Meet at the start to walk in the procession, or join in anywhere along the route. The route is approximately one mile in length, and arrives on the Columbia campus around 8:45PM.

If you wish to carry a lantern, arrive at 7PM for rehearsal at 120th Street and Morningside Avenue. The artists encourage you to wear blues, black, and/or white to best reflect the blue glow of the lanterns.

Lanterns are assigned first-come, first-served beginning at 7PM sharp.
