The weather has cleared to what looks like a perfect winters afternoon/evening for the 2020 Virtual Lismore Lantern Parade.

The beautiful soundtrack is a composition by Alice Chance performed for our 25th anniversary special guests Moorambilla Voices.
So, there you have it, four ways to be involved this evening for the 2020 Virtual Lismore Lantern Parade.
