As we reach the Spring Equinox light and dark are equal, and it’s a time to celebrate! Join Shadowland Theatre and East End Arts for a free lantern-making workshop. Create a beautiful glowing lantern to welcome the lengthening days, bring light, and hope out of the dark of winter.

Workshops will include all materials and instructions to make your own lanterns. Lanterns can illuminate a room, hang from a balcony, or be shared and carried in the east end Light It Up Lantern Parade!

Who can Register: For community members in East Toronto, with preference given to members of the Crescent Town Community. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

On Sunday March 19 join us for a lantern parade from Dentonia Park into the Crescent Town community to celebrate the Spring Equinox. With music, glowing lanterns, and the light of community spirit, we will welcome the longer days and bring hope into our hearts. Information about Light it Up Parade here!

Shadowland Theatre works with communities to tell their stories and animate their neighbourhoods. The company offers free workshops to create celebratory events where everyone is welcome to participate. You may have seen Shadowland’s performances in Dentonia Park and Crescent Town over the last two years with their stilt-walkers, giant puppets and live music. www.shadowlandtheatre.ca
