Liverpool Lantern Company in collaboration with LUXe and Liverpool City Council, and 20 diverse child, youth and community organisations from around the city created costumes, music, choreographed dance and large scale puppets/ floats to bring the theme of ‘Children and the Environment’ to life on the streets of Liverpool.
This year no petrol or diesel vehicles were permitted in the parade; all participants were on foot, pedalling, wheeling or pushing their floats and structures.
The five themed parade sections focus on Environmental Issues and endangered species :
The Sun, The Rainforest, The Ocean, The Antarctic, The Cosmos

Liverpool Lantern Company is an artist led organisation, originally set up to establish a spectacular community based Lantern Carnival in Liverpool and to promote creativity, celebration and unity within and across local communities. We also undertake commissions and offer training at all levels and in many art forms such as Lantern making, carnival costume, processional puppets and large scale processional imagery, as well as directing and producing art installations, site specific events and processions.
