Literature created through this whole school project (66 pupils) will be audio recorded by the students to generate a soundscape for the Lantern\u00a0Parade finale. Artwork from each story will be animated by creative technology Digital, Visual &amp; Sound Artist Joey Maguire, to generate a digital arts installation for the Carlisle Tower at Lismore Castle. Four artist-led community Lantern making workshops with maker Caoimhe Dunn will allow for 100 willow lanterns to be made for the procession. Each lantern will be decorated with stories from the school workshops. Our procession begins in Lismore\u2019s Millennium Park and travels to the front lawn of Lismore Castle through the maze of gardens, guided by community volunteers, Lismore Men\u2019s Shed and accompanied by an ensemble of carnival drummers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":29936,"template":"","class_list":["post-29935","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Solas na Bealtaine Festival Eve Lantern Parade - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Now in its second year, the Festival Eve Lantern Parade will light up Millenium Park and Lismore Castle Gardens with a promenade of over 100 lanterns made by local families.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/solas-na-bealtaine-festival-eve-lantern-parade\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Solas na Bealtaine Festival Eve Lantern Parade - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Now in its second year, the Festival Eve Lantern Parade will light up Millenium Park and Lismore Castle Gardens with a promenade of over 100 lanterns made by local families.
