We are getting things rolling for the Esquimalt Lantern Festival! We need crew to help us build new lanterns mid-September as well as help at the event itself. This year, we have expanded the #festival slightly by having #LanternMaking for the general public on Thursday, Sept 25 & the main event on Friday, Sept 26.

The Esquimalt Lantern Festival (ELF) is an annual, all ages, #FreeEvent held at the #EsquimaltGorgePark on the traditional land of the Esquimalt and #Songhees Nations.

It features #music by local musicians, handmade lanterns, large-scale #puppets , and interactive #art installations throughout the park. The festival's mandate is to create a warm, welcoming environment that celebrates all things #weird and wonderful!
