Halloween Lantern Carnival 2008
This year’s Halloween Lantern Carnival takes place on Friday 31st October in Sefton Park,Liverpool at 6.30pm.
Lantern procession starts at 6.30pm by Iron bridge entrance to the Park, Mossley Hill Drive. Route passes Palm House and Café and finishes with a spectacular Finale at 7.15pm on field above the Boating Lake.
The Lantern Procession includes hundreds of handmade lanterns, carnival bands, costumed dancers and giant illuminated puppets. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Celtic roots of Halloween, as well as Mexican, European folk tale, and Eastern traditions, the carnival will culminate in a spectacular Cosmic finale, weaving ancient forms of puppetry, live music and dance, with kinetic light sculpture, fire and pyrotechnics into a fable of Universal proportions which will warm the soul!
Come raise your spirits with us and witness astonishing sights on the night of the year when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest!
