About the event
The Lantern Parade returns starring 'Community in Nature' magical lantern creations by local schools and community groups.
Enjoy a carol service at the Cathedral from 4pm, followed by the Lantern Parade, starting at College Green at 4.50pm. The parade is inspired by how community is found in nature, and will light the way through the City Centre, and prompting us to think about how coming together as a community is our superpower.
The procession will be illuminating the city centre as it moves through the gate streets and around the University of Gloucestershire building in King's Square, finishing at Blackfriars Priory.
