ABOUT THE LANTERNS

About the lanterns: The 2024 parade included more than 300 lanterns from many different places: community workshops and many creative families and individuals.In addition to the community created lanterns, the paraded feature special large scale lanterns created by local artists Thomas Dunning, Matt Cameron, Angela Yonke, Grace Washko, and Montana State University Art students. These artists received creative and technical support by professional lantern artist Gabs.

Inspiration

Lantern parades and festivals have a rich and ancient tradition from civilizations around the globe. We’ve been inspired recently by the Atlanta Beltline Parade (Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons), Iluminata (Fremont Arts Council), and Handmade Productions Uk who originated the “Winter Bloom” theme parade.

ABOUT THE MUSIC

Choral and folk music provided by the Bozeman Symphonic Choir and Greater Yellowstone Threshold Singers.
