As the event transitions into the evening, we'll darken the room to simulate a serene night environment. Children can take a "night walk" with their lit lanterns, enjoy shadow storytelling, and participate in a "moon watching" experience. Families are invited to sit under the "moon and stars" on picnic mats, share light snacks and drinks, and tell stories about their own family traditions.🌕🌃"Night Walks," Shadow Storytelling, and "Moon Watching"
