Hahndorf will shine a little brighter this September, as the Adelaide Hills town celebrates their annual Winter Lantern Festival. While initially scheduled for August 2021, it has been postponed one month due to the weather forecast.
Included in the night will be live music, food stalls and more lanterns than you can poke a candelabra at.
All the fun kicks of at 5pm with the lanterns being lit at dusk, around 7:45pm.
Approximately 200 lanterns will be hung around Alec Johnston Park, Hahndorf and St Michaels school.
Many of the lanterns have been made by local students and families in the town’s lantern workshops held across the past seven weeks.
Keep your eye out for the giant lanterns that organisers have been working on for quite some time. They’re sure to impress.
Music on the night will be supplied by the launch of the new youth Thongaphone percussion ensemble, a band that uses everyday items and the humble flip flop to produce epic music.
The Fire Mural Finale designed by local Indigenous Artist, David Booth, will finish the event.
Hahndorf Winter Lantern Festival is a non-profit NGO that is run by a board of local artist and residents.
To ensure effective contract tracing, this is a ticketed event.
