The parade will travel as a group from the eastern end of town. The surfaces traversed will include grass, asphalt carpark and roads and concrete pathways. Participants carrying lanterns MAY NOT have any open flames.

The parade takes approximately 25 minutes to walk from start to finish. All 10U must be accompanied by an adult.

Our festival will go ahead unless it is dangerous to do so – this means that it may be wet and we recommend that you dress accordingly.

We also strongly suggest that you wear layers and warm clothing.  Mansfield is located in the foothills of the Victorian alps – it can be very cold!  Hat, scarf, gloves and coat are the minimum recommended clothing!  More is better than less – especially when it comes to small people.

The festival space is a asphalt carpark that is closed to all vehicles. There are associated kerbs and footpaths around the perimeter of the festival space.  There are also several wide speed humps in one section of the carpark.
