Illuminares Lantern Festival

Trout Lake, Victoria and 15th, Vancouver, BC

Once again, the amazing Public Dreams Society (http://publicdreams.org/) put on the most magical of summer evenings in Vancouver, the Illuminares Lantern Festival at Trout Lake in East Van.

Always a highlight of the year for us, and 2007 was no exception! We started off with a standing dance set in the early evening, and at the fall of dusk we began marching around the lake, pied-pipering throngs of lantern bearing people to fire shows and lantern installations. And of course, the parade marshal's cry of "OK, you're done, thanks guys" does not even begin to deter us from continuing to play, which we did for hours more until eventually the police came around and politely suggested that there might be neighbours wanting to sleep.
