Celebrate the magic of the winter solstice with a lantern-making workshop!
Embrace the beauty of the season by joining us for a hands-on lantern-making workshop. Learn how to craft your very own paper and bamboo lantern, then light it at sunset as we come together for a magical lantern parade at Coogee Beach on the evening of the winter solstice.
Winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It symbolises the rebirth of the sun and the gradual return of light and warmth, bringing with it, the promise of spring. Many people take this time to reflect on the past year, express gratitude, and set intentions for the future. It's a beautiful opportunity for introspection and renewal amidst the stillness of winter.
Lighting lanterns on the night of the winter solstice represents warmth and light during the longest night of the year.
Workshop details
Lantern-making workshops will be held over two consecutive weekends leading up to the winter solstice, with both morning and afternoon sessions available.
You only need to attend one session to complete your lantern.
No experience is needed - our team will provide all materials and step-by-step guidance.
Workshops are suitable for children aged 5 and up.
All children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
Workshops Schedule - June 2025
Friday 6 & 13: afternoon, 3:30pm to 6:30pm
Saturday 7 & 14: morning, 9am to 12pm; afternoon, 1pm to 4pm
Sunday 8 & 15: morning, 9am to 12pm; afternoon, 1pm to 4pm
Join the celebration
The project will culminate in a breath taking lantern parade at Coogee Beach Rainbow on Saturday 21 June, solstice night - a vibrant community celebration where participants proudly display their creations and share in the light together.
