Get ready to immerse yourself in culture at the LUMINOUS Lantern Parade! This annual spectacle transforms South Bank’s beloved Little Stanley Street and beyond into a dazzling procession of lanterns at night. Be there at 6pm on 3 August as they light up the night sky for an unforgettable cultural experience.
Picture this: a vibrant parade of magnificent lanterns gliding through the street, showcasing the creativity and contributions of diverse communities. Hosted by Multicultural Australia, this event has carved out a special place in our hearts.
More than just a visual feast, the parade is a powerful display of solidarity with refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers. This year’s route takes you from Little Stanley Street, along the Clem Jones Promenade, and concludes at the South Bank Piazza.
Of course, no family outing is complete without delicious food! We recommend booking an early dinner at one of South Bank’s top restaurants for prime parade viewing. Whether you’re craving a mezze platter at Baba Ganouj, a hearty pizza and pasta spread at Vici, or contemporary Caribbean delights at Barbossa, you’ll find the perfect culinary match.
So, gather your loved ones and join us for an evening filled with culture, cuisine, and community spirit at the LUMINOUS Lantern Parade.
