Last Sunday I heard that this had happened... and felt very irritated with myself that I'd missed it! Next year I am definitely going to take part. Making lanterns and then parading with them (along with making lots of noise in a non-anti-social way) - what's not to like?
Several people from our Meeting were at the parade, anyway, so I thought that was enough excuse to share this video (and thanks to Helen Martin for letting me use it):
I don't want to hijack this for Quakerism, as from what I can see on the Internet this is a creative community event, nothing to do with religion of any kind... But then I wondered what religion is, if not the shared creation and celebration of light?*
*Not to mention the hijacking of suitable metaphors wherever they happen to turn up... ;)
