Lismore The Lantern Parade

Program

So much more than a parade...

The Lismore Lantern Parade is an annual community arts festival held on or around the longest night of the year, being the Winter Solstice. This year the Lismore Lantern Parade will be held on Saturday 23 June 2012 and the theme is 'Harvest'.

Each year the Lantern Parade attracts in excess of 25,000 people. The festival celebrates community, art and nature with arts, crafts, workshops, regional cuisine, markets, a spectacular parade, lanterns, bands, street theatre, music, carnival dancers, illuminated puppets, fire art and pyrotechnics and much, much more...

The festival takes place in the heart of the Lismore CBD with lantern making workshops held in the months and weeks before the festival begins. Local businesses actively participate in the festival and decorate their windows to complement the theme for each year. They also provide great deals and special offers for visitors...so make sure you check out our special offers page!

The aboriginal people of this area are the Widjabul. This country is sacred to them and we urge you to respect their land, culture and beliefs. The Lismore Lantern Parade and LightnUp Inc acknowledges the Bundjalung Nation on whose land we walk.
