Butterfly Lantern Parade Game Book

You need a butterfly lantern (any kind of illuminated butterfly themed object) to walk in the parade. Get some lantern ideas here! You can also take a butterfly lantern puppet workshop or pick up a kit to make at home. See schedule below.

Meet in Jess Lucas Park. Festival starts at 5pm. Be ready to march at 8pm.

Fall in behind the band and keep their pace. Spread out so everyone has room to dance and 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!

Butterfly Lantern Puppet Workshops!

(Small butterfly lantern puppet kits to-go will be for sale at the workshops for $15)

These Butterfly Lantern Puppet workshops are with parade artist Chantelle Rytter. We will be making 22” x 17” illuminated butterfly puppets created with Rytter's design. Take a look at the photos below. This involves coloring with markers, scissor-work, hot glue, tape, and a fair amount of manual dexterity. This project is best for folks 8 years-old and up with an adult assistant. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Tickets are per butterfly. Two people can work on one butterfly (please no more than two). There are just 12 butterflies per class and they do take every bit of 3 hours to make. Please do your best to be on time. You are welcome to bring a beverage & snack. All materials are included. There are three family workshops and three adults-only workshops at two locations.
