Everyone is invited to just show up with a lantern and march in the parade!
BUT THERE ARE A FEW RULES
1. You need a lantern to march. Otherwise, you're a spectator. We love spectators!
Get some lantern making ideas here or take a lantern workshop (the schedule is below) or pick up a kit to make at home (kit sale location TBA).
2. Be ready to march at 8pm at the festival in Dearborn Plaza. We step-off at 8:10pm sharp.
3. Fall in behind the band. Give the band space and keep their pace. No passing. Walk nicely together like a New Orleans Second Line.
