The week before Te Ramaroa lights up, drop-in and make a lantern with us at Nelson Provincial Museum, ready to parade through the Cathedral Gardens on the opening night of Te Ramaroa on Friday 3 July. (The little lights that will go inside the lanterns can be collected from the Museum on opening night, prior to the parade).
On opening night, you'll carry your lantern through the Cathedral Gardens as part of the Wishing Walk parade, winding past the festival's lightworks. At the end, every lantern will be hung in a wishing tree - a glowing cluster of everything we've made together, for the city to come and see all festival long.
There will be two more drop-in sessions during the festival, so tamariki and whānau can make a lantern to carry through the lightworks and be part of the magic.
All sessions are drop-in, come anytime during the listed times.
Three drop-in sessions:
- Saturday 27 June: 12:00pm–3:00pm
- Friday 3 July: 4:00pm–7:00pm
- Saturday 4 July: 4:00pm–7:00pm
