THE Lynbrook Lantern Festival lit up Banjo Paterson Park on Saturday 8 October with thousands of people coming out to enjoy the fun.
Lynbrook Residents Association Events Manager Vanessa Watson said the 2016 Lynbrook Lantern Festival was the best and brightest yet.
“It was absolutely fantastic, our best yet,” she said.
“Had a massive crowd of 4000 plus people turn out, which was just great.”
As well as the painting of the lanterns there were three jumping castles, a petting zoo, sumo wrestling and heaps more family fun.
Ms Watson said the day went very smoothly and organisers couldn’t have been luckier with the break in the weather.
“There weren’t any big issues and we were very lucky we held it the day before the big winds,” she said.
“We had great weather even though there was only a top of 17 it was sunny all afternoon until the night and there was no wind. It was a perfect night.”
Ms Watson extended her thanks to all the volunteers that made the event possible.
“Without the Sikh volunteers or the volunteers from our committee as well as other community members, the event would not run,” she said.
“We just wouldn’t be able to do it without them and we are very grateful.”
