It was a serene and magical evening at the Edinboro Lake Lantern Festival, a sure sign that summer's almost here.

It's a family-friendly event designed to bring the community together at Pat Crawford Beach to dream, reflect and celebrate.

The Shane Wills Team from Coldwell Banker Edinboro sponsored the festival.

Before the sun went down, it featured music, local food trucks and a family celebration.

But the main event was the release of floating water lanterns onto Edinboro Lake.

Each lantern was personalized with messages of hope, love, memories, and goals before they were all set afloat, and launched onto the lake.
