BURNING THE CLOCKS
Annual lantern parade held on 21 December, the shortest day. 18:00-20:30 Church Street to Madeira
Drive, Brighton.
Crowds
of 20,000 line the streets. Community event, suitable for all ages, and free to attend.
In the words of Same Sky, the organisers, "People gather
together to make paper and willow lanterns to carry through their
city and burn on the beach as a token for the end of the year. No
money changes hands, no lantern is better for its purpose than
any other, all are unique to the maker and precious, but all are
given up to be burnt to greet the lengthening days. Burning the
Clocks combines a fantastic parade
with a high quality fire show and fireworks for the whole city.
The lantern makers become part of the show as they invest the
lanterns with their wishes, hopes, and fears and then pass them
into the fire. Look out also for the Brighton
Festival Parade from Same Sky, at the
Brighton Festival in May. Video Procession
