Join the Twilux Lantern Parade and Light up the Night!
Featuring marching music, fiery Flow dancing, the Infinity Spirit Team, and beats by local underground DJ Chris Endo.

The third Twilux Lantern Parade is almost here! Join us at sunset on Saturday Nov. 2 and parade down the quaint streets of Oxford Mills with horns and drums, light performers, giant glowing lanterns, flags, noisemakers, and dozens of homemade lanterns of all shapes and sizes. This year we celebrate The River so plan to glow with the flow - costumes that light up the night are strongly encouraged!

At a twinkling Maplewood Park, ‘lanterneers’ will be treated to live musical mayhem (led by tubaist Dr. Keith Hartshorn-Walton) and vibrant performances by Flow Dancer Luna Limestone and the Infinity Spirit Team. If you’re feeling chilly, the Oxford Mills Sisterhood of Guiding has you covered with hot chocolate (and cookies!) on hand, which you can imbibe while bopping to playful House music with friends and neighbours around the fire. Globetrotting DJ Chris Endo brings his quirky blend of beats to round out the evening with music that will make you move in an all-ages dance party.

Don’t have a lantern but wish you did? Instructions on how to make a lantern can be found on our Facebook Twilux Lantern page, as well as links to DJ Chris Endo and Dr. Keith Hartshorn-Walton’s music.

This is an all-ages outdoor event, with accessible bathrooms located in Maplewood Hall. Free street parking available.
