Chesterfield Lantern Parade at Rykneld Square Chesterfield
Following the stunning array of lanterns that took to the streets last year – the Parade is back in town again. Follow the beat of the Nottingham School of Samba Band all the way through the streets and market to the Festival firework finale at Queen’s Park at about 7 pm. This year’s theme is Chinese Lanterns.
Register on the night at the Tourist Information Centre. Groups of 10 or more must register in advance (forms from the Tourist Information Centre).
Please note: we advise using torches or glow-sticks to illuminate your lanterns, rather than candles.
