Mark your calendars for an enchanting experience at the Moon Lantern Trail, part of the OzAsia Festival, happening from Thursday October 24th– Sunday the 27th, 2024, at Tarntanya Wama (Pinky Flat). Kicking off a weekend celebrations, the Moon Lantern Trail honours the rich harvest festival traditions and stories from across Asia.
By day, the area is beautiful and inviting, but as the sun sets, the Karrawirra Parri/River Torrens riverbank will transform into a mesmerising wonderland of light and sound. With over a dozen giant lanterns illuminating the path, visitors can stroll through a magical atmosphere that captivates the senses.

Showcasing the best of Asian and Asian Australian art and culture, OzAsia Festival is curated by Artistic and Executive Producer Joon-Yee Kwok.
