The Protection Island Lantern Festival is back celebrating Earth day and spring growth on Saturday, April 19, 2008, in Pirates Park 7ish. Come out and celebrate the 4th Annual PI Lantern Festival. Come celebrate community and creativity at sunset! Latest Entry – April 19, 2008
Once again, nature took the lead in inspiring snowy/icy art installations. The weather was surprising with a last minute wintery wonderland! Thanks so much to all the organizers, performers, lantern makers, the Station 7 Fire Department for bringing the hot chocolate, the Dinghy Dock Pub for providing one–way fares and everyone who came! Thanks so much to Pam Murray for these wonderful photos and wonderful memory keepers. The following photos are of Krista's snow sculpture, Dali's metal mesh hanging lantern with Sandy's metal can lanterns in the background, Karen's hanging wooden framed dragon lantern and Josephine with her star wooden framed lantern. All are lit with candlelight:
Here are more photos of beautiful lanterns:
Thanks to this year's fire performers - Mina, Don, Guy and Paula:
A great view for the fire show and of Nanaimo's skyline:
A special thanks goes to Paul and Larry for keeping us musical all night long, the pre-park preparation crew, and the post-park cleanup crew. | |
