Dear Parents,
Re Lismore Lantern Parade – Saturday 20 June 2015
We hope to see our school community well lit and very colourful in the lantern parade on Saturday.
Students will be taking home their lanterns during the week and will need to bring the lanterns to the
parade on Saturday. The parade organisers will provide candles and wristbands. You will only be able to get
a wristband if you are walking with the school. Our school has offered to carry the emu again this year so it
would be great to have a few adults to help out with this as it does get quite heavy.
PLEASE BRING YOUR OLD LANTERNS TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL LOOK BRIGHT!
Meeting Point:
Victoria Road, next to the skate park,
We will travel though town to Oaks Oval (see attached map)
Arrival Time:
4.45 -­­5pm at the latest for a 5.30 departure
Tips from the organisers….
What to Wear:
NATURAL FIBERS ONLY....NO SYNTHETICS....
Comfortable walking shoes
Parents are responsible for their children in the parade and after the parade.
Bring
 EVERYONE MUST SIT ON THE GRASS to watch the performance. So everyone can see.
So bring rugs or tarps to SIT ON and WARM CLOTHES will be essential, and food, snacks,
water etc back packs are handy here.
 Hot food WILL be available on BOTH sides of the Oval.
Prams: prams can be a visual obstruction and take up room on the Oval, we will provide a secure
pram parking area near to your allocated seating. We will appreciate it if on the night you can park
your prams in these areas.
Wristbands:
The Finale is a ticketed event, which means everyone who wants to see the finale will need to either have a
wristband to sit on the grass or have bought a ticket to sit in the outer-­­stands or grandstand.
 Anyone who has made a lantern will receive 2 wristbands, one for the lantern carrier and 1 for a
parent /supervisor.
 Wristbands will also be allocated to adults offering to be a safety marshal or carry a feature lantern.
 Extra wristbands for adults over 15yrs who are walking in the parade, can be purchased from
LightnUp for a discounted price of $5 .
 Tickets for the grandstand and outer-­­stand seating can be purchased on-­­line or from the Lismore
Visitor Information Centre 1300878387 or Powermax, Magellan St, over the counter.
Schools need to be fully lanterned/lit – The parade looks dark and less exciting/beautiful if there are many
people walking with only a few lights.
 So…..If you have large numbers of family members who want to walk in the parade please ensure
that they are carrying lanterns or are some how lit, dressed up, decorated, animated, playing music
etc……
 Schools can offer to carry a feature lantern or push pram with a PA (amplified music) in the parade
(we would love this!)
If you are using lanterns made in previous years they will need to be checked by LightnUp crew for safety
either at the shed (81 Orion Street) before the event (preferable) or at the parade assembly.
