Lanterns lighting the way – from the Marina to the foreshore
This popular event is a highlight with the kids as they light up the foreshore with their hand-made lanterns. The Parade will depart from the The Garden Bar Bistro at Coral Sea Marina, bringing colour and light along the Bicentennial Boardwalk, past Sorrento’s Restaurant and Bar and along the foreshore to the Movie Screen where the Welcome to Country and Traditional dance will commence.
Lantern-making workshops will, as usual, be held prior to the event, hosted by the festival and marina teams. Date and locations to be confirmed.
