The Gulgong Arts Council’s 2023 Lantern Festival was a huge success, lighting up the sky with a parade of lanterns after a week of creative workshops.

The theme of this year’s Lantern Festival was Bugs in Space, which included a week of creative workshops in the first week of the school holidays culminating in a parade of lanterns and a show at the Gulgong Opera House.
Visiting artists hosted workshops on how to make lanterns for the parade and local artists shared their expertise in performance and photography.
The Gulgong community lined the streets to watch the parade followed by a show in the Opera House.
