Reach Skyward

For over 25 years, the Mount Pleasant Glass & Ethnic Festival has been celebrating our diverse history from a stage coach stop to a coal mining and glass making center. Throughout the generations, many different cultures and ethnicities settled here. Today, Mount Pleasant’s diversity of ethnic heritage gives the town its color and vibrancy.

The different colored lanterns launched from the heart of the festival remind us that each of us is different. As the lanterns reach into the sky, our differences meld to become one beautiful show.

We invite you to be a part of our community, even for an evening. Light a lantern. Remember from where you came and let the light guide you to where you’re going.
