Light The Lagoon
Light the Lagoon is about families, friends and community coming together to remember their lost children.
Losing a child has an everlasting effect on everyone. Each year as part of Pregnancy and Infant Loss week, Amber NT hold a Reflection Event at the Darwin Waterfront to honour the babies and children that are held in hearts and not arms.
This year the event falls on International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on the 15th of October.
Music and entertainment are provided in the afternoon, so bring a blanket and a picnic and enjoy an evening of reflection.
Messages are written on paper and placed in the Reflection Tent or in the Memory Lantern.
Bamboo boats and candles can be purchased for a gold coin donation, and these are decorated, candles lit and then floated on the Lagoon at sunset.
When: Sunday, 15 October 2023
Time: 5:00pm - 7:30pm
Cost: FREE (Gold coin donation for reflection boat and candle)
Where: Recreation Lagoon, Darwin Waterfront
