This year our theme is "the moon and the Matariki stars" - we'll be delivering lanterns to the schools and preschools again. The parade will be held on the first fine Friday in June - hopefully 5 June!. The route will start and finish at the Custom house - you'll walk around the moon stationed near the Tambo. Food, drink, heating and "glow in the dark" activities kick off at 5.30pm with the parade starting at 6pm once it's dark. There is no cost to participate.
