Morningside Lights celebrates 15 years this fall, illuminating the night in a procession of awe-inspiring handmade lanterns floating through Morningside Park to Columbia's campus. This year's theme is A Common Thread—an exploration of the visual patterns and motifs that surround us, in textiles, domestic adornments, architecture, and engineered spaces.
All Morningside Lights participants may join the route anywhere and enter campus with the procession via the gates at Amsterdam Avenue and 116th Street.
Everyone is welcome to sign up for a lantern-building workshop to help create the magic of Morningside Lights.
Workshop participants will create and combine luminous patterned panels into lanterns inspired by the geometry of American quilts. A winding red line will form a visual line that links each design throughout the final procession—a common thread that connects the human fabric across our rich and varied differences.
