For one night only, the streets of downtown Edmonton will light up with lovingly crafted and stunningly beautiful lantern creatures! After the parade, catch a full night of performances.

Parade night kicks off with a free mini lantern-making workshop from 5PM – 7:30PM, so make sure you show up early!

In 2021, a fire destroyed CO*LAB's lantern collection. They are now committed to rebuilding and expanding their collection so the festival can grow each year! If you create a lantern with CO*LAB, please consider donating the piece to the collection. If you are utterly in love with your creation, CO*LAB encourages you to take it with you with an invitation to join them again for their next parade!

Schedule:

Free mini workshop: 5 PM – 7:30 PM

Lantern Parade: 8PM – 9PM

Performances: 9 PM – Late

Make sure to check out their weekly Open Play Workshops leading up to the event for more lantern-making fun.
