How To Make A Lantern

Two participants hold up their handmade lanterns

 

In the Lantern Parade, you make the magic! Our city's Lantern Parade is a form of "civic play" - a chance for creative fun in a public space. Families make their own lanterns, then gather together to parade as a community!  

DIY Lantern Kits will NOT be available during the event. Make your lantern in advance, then bring it to the parade. Only LED battery powered lights are allowed. No fire or flying lanterns.
