The lantern parade at La Villette

The Lantern Parade at La Villette, a poetic and musical stroll

A few days before the winter solstice, lanterns in hand, night owls illuminate the Parc de la Villette for a poetic and musical walk, orchestrated by the artists of the collective Les Poussières. Everyone is invited to join the luminous procession once night falls to discover the park by candlelight.

You can make your own lantern by participating in the Make Your Lantern workshop the weekend before (reservation required). Workshop participants pick up their lantern on the day of the parade in Little Villette.
