Come join us at the 18th Annual Winter Solstice Lantern Event produced by The Secret Lantern Society.

For the third year, CACV volunteers will be at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens with a blank slate for you to contribute to.

We provide a plain white cube and coloured tissue paper and scissors – and you tear or cut and attach your image onto the community lantern.

What: A community lantern

When: Wednesday, December 21, 6:00-10:00pm

Where: Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Gardens

This year our eco-arts lantern is a tree-shape made from 6 bamboo poles, strung together. You’ll add laurel and magnolia leaves punched into lovely designs.
