30th Anniversary Winter Solstice Festival workshops overview

Lantern Making

Don't be left lantern-less! Artists from the Secret Lantern Society will help you make your own beautiful lantern. All materials are provided and participants are encouraged to bring pressed leaves and flowers or other decorative elements. Price is per lantern so parent & child can create one lantern together. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Masks encouraged.

Lantern Making Workshops take place at the Roundhouse Community Centre and False Creek Community Centre. Workshops are scheduled in the weeks before the festival.

Note: To avoid disappointment, please ensure registration is completed 24 hours in advance of workshop schedule. Workshops may be cancelled 24 hours in advance due to insufficient registration.
