Gather your family and friends and join this magical

to make lanterns
for this breath-taking opening of Taranaki’s tenth arts
festival.
Ethereal and exquisite, this magnificent mid-winter
parade of light and sound will weave its way through Pukekura
Park
illuminating
the landscape with a sea of lanterns. Singers and musicians
will accompany the parade as it proceeds towards its destination
at
the TSB Bowl of Brooklands.
In case of rain the parade will
still go ahead (bring gumboots, raincoats and umbrellas). In case
of appalling weather,
the parade will be postponed until the following evening..
