Celebrating Pride and Diversity in the Lismore Lantern Parade.

As the 30th-year celebration of the Lismore Lantern Parade approaches, excitement builds as the community prepares to illuminate the night with creativity, unity, and pride. Among the festivities, this year marks a significant milestone as the Project Pride Lismore community enters the parade for the first time, adorned with magnificent Q lanterns.

To contribute to this historic event, Project Pride Lismore has had two Workshops dedicated to crafting 10 letter Q lanterns and a grand Q symbolizing pride, unity, and diversity. These workshops invited participants to engage in a creative endeavour that not only produced stunning lanterns but also fosters connections across the community.
