Workshops

We welcome your participation; Every lantern made will help Ottawa shine!

The best way to participate in the Lumière Festival is to make your own lantern. We offer a variety of ways for you to be creative:

• Attend a lantern making workshop at the Crichton Cultural Community Centre. Workshops are offered year round.
• Call us to arrange a facilitated lantern making workshop for your camp, organization, bridal shower, sleep over or any other social gathering.
• We have lantern making kits available at the CCCC. These kits come with all the supplies you require (except for white glue), instructions and even an email address for if you need some help.
