Morningside Lights returns for its 12th year, illuminating the night in a procession of awe-inspiring handmade lanterns floating through Morningside Park to Columbia's campus. This year, each of the 50+ community-built lanterns pays tribute to a book that inspires, enlightens, and shapes how we see the world.

The free neighborhood tradition includes a week of community arts workshops prior to the procession to create the "reimagined monuments."

Miller Theatre at Columbia University (116th St. and Broadway)
