The Annual Hazeldean Lantern Parade is set for Saturday, January 24th, promising a magical evening that brings the community together through creativity and celebration. The event begins at 5:00 PM at the Hazeldean Community Hall, where participants are invited to decorate their own lanterns using empty milk jugs, pop bottles, or other clear containers. Free hot chocolate, apple cider, and donuts from Hazeldean Bakery will help keep everyone warm and energized before the parade steps off at 6:00 PM sharp. With travel mugs encouraged to help reduce waste, the evening highlights sustainability alongside fun.
As darkness settles in, neighbours will illuminate the streets together, proudly showcasing their handcrafted lanterns in a glowing display of community spirit. This beloved tradition is a chance to make memories, celebrate local pride, and light up the night—making this year’s parade the brightest one yet.
