Sheboygan County Museum Sets August 17 Lantern Parade at Vollrath Park
Sheboygan, WI August 10, 2026.
Sheboygan families have a free evening activity to add to the calendar for Monday, August 17, when the Sheboygan County Museum hosts its 2026 Vollrath Bowl Lantern Parade at Vollrath Park.
Lantern-making and parade times
The museum’s free lantern-making session will run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Vollrath Park in the City of Sheboygan. Families can use the first part of the evening to make lanterns, then join the parade or watch as it takes place from 8 to 8:30 p.m.
The museum lists Monday, August 24, 2026, as the rain date. Families planning to attend should check the museum’s event information before heading out if weather conditions threaten the schedule.
A second lantern-making opportunity
Mead Public Library will offer a related lantern-making program on Friday, August 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That gives families another way to prepare for the Vollrath Bowl event before the parade evening.
Families can participate in several ways: make a lantern at the park, bring one made through the library program, join the parade, or simply watch the procession. The museum’s event page identifies the participating community partners and provides the official schedule for the Sheboygan event.
