Paynesville Lantern Parade & Street Food Fiesta

Paynesville Lantern Parade and Street Food Fiesta

Join us for a magical evening on the Paynesville foreshore at the Lantern Parade and Street Food Fiesta! This community event will light up the night as families and friends gather to celebrate creativity, culture, and delicious local fare.

As night falls, the lantern parade will begin at the Paynesville Craft Centre, winding its way along the foreshore walking path. Stroll alongside glowing lanterns past the Yacht Club and Pier 70, around to the Ferry Terminal, and soak in the spectacle. Whether you’re carrying a lantern or just enjoying the view, the procession is sure to enchant.

After the parade, make your way back along the Esplanade, where the streets come alive with the tantalising aromas of street food from local eateries and food trucks. Take your pick from a wide variety of tasty offerings, and don’t forget to bring your appetite!

Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere filled with live music and entertainment from local buskers performing at various locations along the Esplanade. Be sure to bring some cash to tip these talented artists and support their craft.

Bring your lanterns, your appetite, and your sense of wonder — it’s going to be a night to remember!
