St Ives Lantern Parade
Posted on
Barnoon Arts were the intitiative behind starting The Christmas Lantern Parade, we provided a community space for laterns to be made by the public and The Barnoon team of lantern makers and facillitators. The whole community seemed to get right behind us and we had to make a lot of laterns, there were weekend and evening workshops for the public that were free or for a small donation towards the costs. The team also built Mawgar The Dragon and Betsy The Fish Wife larger puppets to head the parade.
We received grants from: Feast Cornwall, BID St Ives and St Ives in December which all enabled the whole event and the team to weave its magic.
