The weather is looking on theme for this Friday's 'Enchanted Wetland' Winter Solstice Lantern Parade 2026! So grab your gum boots & rain jackets (get dressed up if you feel) & bring your lanterns along to light up the most magical night of the year! ✨
🏮The School Choir will be kicking things off at 5pm, followed by the lighting of the bonfire & the burning of the fears & worries, with the Lantern Parade starting at 5:30pm.
🏮The students from Dodges Ferry Primary School & South East Arts have been busy creating beautiful light art to light up the night and the parade path which will be around the loop track again this year!
🚗A reminder that parking is limited so please walk, car pool or bike.
💸We will have delicious pasta bake, curries, sticky date pudding, mulled wine & hot chocolates available for sale from Okines Community House and the Rotary Club of Sorell will be here as well, running a sausage sizzle in the community garden next to the Okines Food Co-op! So come along & grab a bite or drink to eat & help raise money for Okines!
We look forward to seeing you there!
