Room history

Around 1888, this long-timed tradition was launched on the Lake. Before electricity, it was called “A Magic Lantern Carnival.” At that time, there was a brilliant display of magic lanterns on every boat and at every landing at dusk, making one blaze of light. Gowers and Shaw Orchestra played the evening’s music. Now, it continues to symbolize the end of Summer Season on the lake, or a water celebration. Based on an annual theme, floats are designed to compete for prizes, and prizes awarded for beauty, originality, humor and theme.
