Join us for a magical evening in Bury Town Centre as the lantern parade takes flight for its second year.

Following the success of last year’s community lantern parade, we will celebrate the changing of the season at dusk on Thursday 14 November.

Schools and family lantern making workshops take place through the first two weeks of November. Families will join this magical parade with “flight” as its theme in an early evening winter festival including live music, strolling theatre and a fire installation in Kay Gardens.

Bury Lantern Parade has been commissioned by Bury BID, funded by the businesses of Bury town centre. Working in partnership with The Met, the event aims to welcome families and communities into the town centre for a wonderful wintry afternoon.
