The Department of Illumination’s Firelight Lantern Festival drew enormous crowds this
past weekend. The gathering started at 6pm Saturday at Benson Park for performances by Aurora Borealis Community Choir and Northfire Circus before heading onto Picton Main Street for a colourful procession to the Crystal Palace. The theme was Storybook, and costumes celebrated beloved characters, things, and places. Music included fan-favourite Cue the Funk
Saturday and Charlie Angus’s band Grievous Angels put on a terrific show Friday night.
