Illuminate the night at the 2019 Luminary Festival in North Delta next weekend.
The late-summer celebration has become a local tradition with residents parading through the intimate Sunstone Park with lanterns in tow.
The festival is set for Saturday, Sept. 7 from 6 to 10 p.m.
With activities, decorations, food trucks and entertainment, the Luminary Festival is an inspiring event that captures the imagination of children and adults alike.
Make sure you dress in your brightest and best costume during the festival. The more flamboyant and shiny, the better.
This year, Delta will be holding contests for the best costume and best lantern.
Simply take a photo and post it on social media with #illuminatedelta to be entered in to win one of two six-month Delta Parks, Recreation & Culture drop-in facility passes. Winners will be selected on Sept. 10.
One of the best parts of the Luminary Festival is the wide range of diverse and creative lanterns. The City of Delta encourages all attendees to get crafty and make their own personalized lantern.

The use of open flames in lanterns is prohibited, so participants are asked to use glow sticks, solar or battery-powered lights.
There is no on-site parking for Sunstone Park during the Luminary Festival, so the City of Delta will be offering a free shuttle service from the North Delta Recreation Centre.
