Illuminares

Illuminares is an annual lantern festival (starting in 1989) held every summer in John Hendry Park (also known as Trout Lake Park) in east Vancouver. In 2010, the festival moved to Canada Place, but the 2012 festival returned to John Hendry Park. The event was put on by the Public Dreams Society, a group formed in 1985 to encourage community events. Illuminares was a mixture of events put on by the society, such as fire-breathers and bands, and participants bringing their own homemade lanterns. Local artists run lantern making workshops to help people make their own personalized lantern. The festival is paid for through corporate and community sponsors, government grants as well as donations from participants at the event. While it began as a small community festival, Illuminares has quickly grown into one of the most popular events in Vancouver. About 30,000 people come to this event each year. Public Dreams also participated in several other events in the Greater Vancouver area. These included the North Shore's Wild Lights Lantern Festival, held in Edgemont Village, and the Parade of the Lost Souls, a parade through Vancouver's Commercial Drive area around Halloween.
