Organised by local resident Helen Lucy, the family-friendly event was designed to “bring the community together” during the dark winter months.
Speaking at the event, Lucy said: “I just thought it would be a really nice idea to get local residents together to make lanterns in workshops.
“We’ve made 84 [lanterns] in total, and today is the culmination of that.”
The parade through Manston Park was accompanied by the Corpus Christi Brass Band, while Fireman Dave entertained the crowd with a fire show afterwards.
