Join the Listers Lanterns parade, in conjunction with Cecil Green Arts ,
Last year, thousands of you joined us for a spectacular evening of community, lights and spectacle and we hope that you will join us again this year. We are once again actively encouraging car free travel to our event.
Visit the civic art gallery out of hours, a chance to visit the displays, permanent galleries and peruse the gallery shop in the evening. If you struggle to visit due to work commitments, this is your moment!
The parade sets off from the front steps at dusk. Tea, coffee and cake will be available to buy from the ‘Refreshment Room’ gallery cafe, plus food vans in the park.
Get moving to music around the park by Peace Artistes, Jamba Samba, and Banda Na Rua.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
