Thank You, Innisfail!
What a way to celebrate five years! The 5th Annual Innisfail Lantern & Light Festival was everything we hoped for, and it's all because of this incredible community.
To everyone who came out, decorated a lantern, watched a movie under the stars, danced to live music, or simply wandered the glow with us, thank you for making this festival what it is.
A few very special thank-yous:
To our entertainers—Cole Malone, Two for the Road, and Turner Bates—for bringing such incredible energy to keep everyone entertained.
To the Town of Innisfail, Innisfail FCSS, and Fresh Air Cinema for partnering with us on Movie in the Park.
To the Innisfail Community Room and the Innisfail Seniors Drop-In Centre (Lundgren Centre) for opening your doors to host our lantern-building workshops all summer long.
To the Innisfail Art Club for the beautiful Art in Nature Walk that gave us our inspiration for this year's theme.
To Moose & Sparrow and The Coffee Cottage for hosting our free lantern kit pickup locations.
To our BBQ sponsors, Paul's NoFrills Innisfail and Bilton Welding & Manufacturing Ltd., for keeping everyone fed and fueled.
To our generous sponsors- thank you to each and everyone every one of you for your continued belief in this festival.
To all our market vendors, who added so much colour and community spirit to the day.
To our volunteers, who gave their time and energy to make this weekend happen; we couldn't do this without you.
And to every single person who took the time to build a lantern, whether at a workshop, at home, or on the spot, you're the reason this festival glows the way it does.
