About The Event
Join us at the Friendship Park in Queens Garden for an afternoon of reflection and community, as we celebrate hope, harmony and community at the Bunbury Garden Labyrinth.
The afternoon offers an array of Japanese themed activities - making koi kites, listening to Japanese music, trying on kimonos, lolly drops from Kite Kinetics, a smoke ceremony, and painting/decorating your lanterns in the spring sunshine.
The lanterns will be launched into the inlet at sunset.
We cannot guarantee a specific time for launching. Please be in the area with your lanterns close to the estimated time of sunset. Our SWJF team will round everybody up together for a ceremonial walk through the Labyrinth to the estuary.
Attendance to this festival is free, however lanterns muse be purchased in advance via the ticket link attached.
