Now in its 16th year, LUMINOUS Lantern Parade is returning to Brisbane’s streets to light up the night with hundreds of lanterns of various sizes in order to celebrate our state’s culture and heritage, its people, places and industries as well. Taking place during the week of Queensland Day, the LUMINOUS Lantern Parade is the perfect opportunity for Queenslanders to come together to help shine a light on multiculturalism.
Multicultural Australia CEO Christine Castley said, ”Events like LUMINOUS are so important in our journey to break down barriers for new Australians and to provide a warm welcome for all.”
The Lantern Parade, which is free to attend and family-friendly, will depart from Flowstate at 5pm on Friday, June 9 and make its way through the streets. Then afterwards, South Bank Piazza will be filled with the sounds of music and entertainment from around the world as a diverse line-up of musicians and performers take to their instruments and talents to continue the celebrations.
The lanterns are bathed in light to symbolise hope and also to represent the warm welcome Queenslanders give.
