Lantern Festival - brought to by Smithfield Cairns Shopping centre

The Lantern Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and marks the end of the traditional Chinese New Year festivities. Write your new year hopes, dreams and wishes on floating lanterns which will be lit and released from the Western edge of the Lagoon to create  sea of lights for an unforgettable spectacle. 

Lanterns may be purchased on-site from the CADCAI mercvhandise stall. Performances by CADCAI dragon and lion teams, Taichi and Mugendai drumming.

For convenience of COVID contract tracing, booking your free tickets here you can avoid having to supply them on site.
