In an effort to craft 1,000 lanterns for the Canberra PAssionArts Festival and Mid-Autumn celebrations, Canberra residents came together to design vibrant lanterns made entirely from cardboard rolls.
This lantern-making initiative, part of the PAssionArts Festival 2024, supports sustainability and fosters community connections through art. Around 200 residents, spanning toddlers, families, teenagers, and senior citizens, participated in workshops held at Canberra CC and Residents’ Network Centres, pouring their creativity into each lantern for this shared project.

These 1,000 handcrafted lanterns will be showcased in a dazzling display at the "Moonlit Serenade" Canberra PAssionArts Festival on 7 September 2024. The festival will also feature an exciting attempt to set a new Singapore Book of Records for the largest gathering of 100 people dressed as Chang'e, the moon goddess!
"This year’s PAssionArts Festival, as part of the Mid-Autumn celebrations at Canberra, has really shown how strong our community spirit is. Seeing everyone pitch in to make these 1,000 lanterns by hand just goes to show how much we can achieve when we come together. It’s been heartwarming to see everyone’s efforts come to life, and I believe this will be a celebration we’ll all remember." --- Ms Emily Chin, Chairperson of the Canberra Community Arts and Culture Club.
Residents from Canberra Briskwalkers Interest Group participate in a lantern-making activity at the Residents’ Network centre, to contribute their handmade lanterns towards the target of 1,000 lanterns for the upcoming Canberra PAssionArts Festival 2024.
