Winter Lantern Festival
About
🕯️✨ “I can light a candle, God can light a star. Each of them are wondrous, shining as they are.”Join us on the evening before the Winter Solstice for a magical family night under the stars! 🌟
Families are invited to enjoy a lantern-lit walk through the evening twilight, followed by a relaxed picnic dinner while being entertained by an incredible fire twirler🔥.
Lanterns will be made by the students during art class at school and will be ready to collect on arrival, along with a candle.
This special event is for Prep–Year 2 families of St Columba's Primary School. Please note that tickets are only required for children currently attending St Columba's with proceeds contributing to the cost of their lantern materials and the fire twirler.
Siblings are welcome to attend but will not receive a lantern.
Parents/carers are responsible for supervising their children at all times.
