✨Saturday, November 9 sees the return of our beloved Lantern Parade in an all-ages event starting in Benson Park. Gather at 6 PM for pre-show performances from The Aurora Borealis Community Choir and North Fire Circus. The parade will depart at 7 PM accompanied by Spencer Evans and the Goat Steppers and make its way down Main Street to the Crystal Palace for a celebratory evening with music from Cat Named Earl and a second night of artistic revelry for the whole family.
This year’s theme: Strange Magic✨
Festival-goers are invited to dress up in whatever wild and wonderful costume they wish – especially if it’s illuminated!✨
We invite our audiences to play an active role in the lantern festival by taking part in our community lantern-making workshops. These will be held in The Department of Illumination studio in the lower level of The Armoury in Picton, 206 Main Street. You’ll be provided with all the materials and instruction necessary to make a lantern for just $15, or pick up a lantern kit to take home for $20.
