Background: The Laternenlauf is a German family tradition associated with St.Martin's Day, (November 11th). By singing and walking with lanterns we commemorate St. Martin, a soldier who shared his cloak with a beggar.
Lanterns: Bring your own lantern (battery candles please) or learn to make a lantern at our lantern workshop ( from 4pm, $5 per lantern, parents to assist young children).
Lantern song: We will sing the German songs “Laterne, Laterne” and “Ich geh mit meiner Laterne” – we will do some practice runs before we go outside.
German style food and drinks available for purchase on the night.
