Each year the Carnival celebrates our journey and time together with a singularly spectacular lantern parade.
The Parade is the sole event in the Carnival where performers, audience and crew come together under the brilliance of light and unity, symbolizing and endorsing our shared experience and common aspirations.
A magical and wonderful affair, the Parade involves many children making lanterns during the weekend. Holding their colourful lamps aloft, the Parade becomes the highlight for many of them as they become the focus of the entire festival. The Festival Community is invited to participate in the lantern workshops which will culminate in this Sunday Night Celebration.
By Sunday barriers have dropped and elevated spirits are at the fore with the Parade offering the perfect conditions for gay abandon and joyous celebration!
2011 Global Carnival Parade starts 7:30 pm on Sunday 2 October.
