Light The Lagoon 2025
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.
Music and entertainment are provided in the afternoon to accompany you in your journey of reflection.
You can leave written messages in the Reflection Tent or in the Memory Lantern, and release a bamboo boat and candle in the Recreation lagoon at sunset to remember your precious lost ones.
When: Sunday, 21 September 2025
Time: 5:00pm - 7:30pm
Cost: FREE (Gold coin donation for reflection boat and candle)
