The lantern festival and parade date in Bear River has changed!!! Due to rain and high winds, the event will now be held SUNDAY NOVEMBER 2, 7pm, 2025

The parade starts at the Oakdene Centre and continues down to the firehall, turns around and walks to the Waterfront beside the Carol Dibble Community Greenhouse.

The stage will include music with Anita and Sam and dances by scary, sparkly goblins.

See you there!

Many thanks to the Oakdene Centre, the Bear River Fire Dept, the Bear River Board of Trade, the Bear River Night Market, the Sparkle Dancers, Anita and Sam, and organizer Evelyn Winter. And very special thanks to all the people who have worked for weeks behind the scenes to create fantastic costumes.

Don’t miss it!
