A glowing flotilla of love and peace

Send your message out to the universe in one of the most symbolic ways possible at The Floating Lantern Matsuri. Whatever your message is, watch it float in glowing unison with all the other messages into the sunset.

The Floating Lantern Matsuri embraces everything about life, love, peace and friendship, providing you with a chance to get your thoughts down in writing and gently send them off onto destinations unknown. Whether your message is personal in memory of a lost loved one, a wish, a prayer or general words of encouragement and happiness for the world – put it on a lantern and watch it commence it’s peaceful, glowing journey on the evening tide.

Price: Free to attend
Lantern Kits: $15

LANTERN PURCHASES

ONLINE – Purchase your lantern kit online here. Then pick up your lantern from the Info Booth (located on Male Oval in Broome). If you’d like to decorate your lantern before launching it we advised you pick it up before the event.
FESTIVAL HUB – Purchase your lantern at Shinju Matsuri at the Festival Hub - Town Beach – Sale at the Festival Hub will close on Saturday 28th Sept at 12pm.
AT THE EVENT – Purchase your lantern on the beach at the Floating Lantern Matsuri event – there are only a limited number of lanterns for sale on the beach so we would advise pre purchasing your lantern to ensure you don’t miss out.

Decorate your lantern at home or on the day at Gantheaume Point.

Bring your lantern with you to Gantheaume Point so you can prepare your lantern for launch.

Lanterns will set sail at sunset and we encourage you to bring your swimming gear as there’s a possibility of getting a bit wet when launching your lanterns into the water.

Make a lovely evening of it and bring a picnic or take advantage of our VIP tickets to make this sunset experience even more memorable.
