Lanterns, laughter & Chrissy joy
Thousands of people flocked to Woodford on Saturday, November 30, for their annual Lantern Parade and Carnival.
Even the weather enjoyed the live music, craft stalls, and delicious food, as the rain stopped just in time to let everyone enjoy the festivities, only starting again once the parade was coming to an end.
Children from various local schools got to march along with their parents and homemade lanterns, accompanied by community groups, dazzling performers, Morris dancers, Folk Festival elder puppets, and Santa himself.
The Lantern Parade has been lighting up the streets since 2012, while the Street Carnival has been a cherished tradition for even longer.
The idea behind the parade was to create a vibrant, creative event that would kick off Christmas.
