Community Celebration

Community Celebration

The spectacular finale, where the town's creative community takes centre stage.  A colourful procession makes its way through the town for the finale of music, performance and light.

This fantastic event sees over 2000 people line the streets of the town at dusk to create a magical finale to the Festival.  Each year artists works with schools and community groups to create lanterns, flags, banners and costumes to create a wonderful event for all the family.  

Meeting at the Market Place for food and drink, the procession then winds its way through the town to St Mary's Churchyard which is transformed into a garden of fire and light.
