We’re excited to announce that lantern making is back again this year at the 1770 Festival!

This free activity for kids at the 1770 Festival 2025 is proudly sponsored by Bright Life Homes. 

This free activity runs from 10am to 4pm on Saturday and invites kids of all ages to get crafty and creative. With colourful materials and plenty of imagination, young festival-goers will be guided in designing and building their own hand-made lanterns. Then, when the sun sets and darkness falls, the magic begins…

Join us at 6:30 PM for the Lantern Parade, where all the beautifully handmade lanterns will shine bright and take centre stage as they light up the festival grounds. It’s a beautiful moment of community connection, creativity, and childhood joy.

When: Saturday 24 May
Time: 10am – 4pm
