famous lantern parade

This is the Festival’s signature event.

A community favourite and one for the whole family, this is a spectacular night that you do not want to miss. The Lantern Parade is a perfect way to finish a day of live music, market stalls, delicious food and art at the beautiful Victoria Park.

Whether you want to sit back, relax and watch the mesmerising lanterns pass you by, or you would love to be involved, there is an option for you. Come and show us your artistic flair at the lantern making workshops - open to all ages and a great experience for families! Then YOU get to be part of the action and walk with your own lantern, alongside more than 1000 people.
