BUTTERFLY LANTERN PARADE GAME BOOK
-
You need a butterfly lantern (any kind of illuminated butterfly themed object) to walk in the parade. Otherwise, you are a spectator. We love spectators! Clap for the parade! If you want to march, get some lantern making ideas here or take a butterfly lantern puppet workshop (schedule below) or pick up a kit to make at home (kit sale location TBA).
-
Meet in Jess Lucas Park. Festival starts at 5pm. Be ready to march at 8pm. We step into the street at 8:10 sharp!
-
Fall in behind the band and keep their pace. Spread out so everyone has room to fly! No passing.
-
Children must walk next to their adults at all times.
-
Walk your bicycle or join Outback Bikes parade group.
-
The route is 1 mile, about a 30 minute walk. The band will play a bit when we get back to the park. Enjoy the festival until 10pm!
