LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS:
Look out for ur magical lantern parade in Scarborough on Friday 24th November, starting at 5.30pm on Peasholm Drive on its way to the opening of Scarborough Sparkle at the Open Air Theatre.
Take a moment to look at the map below for the best places to stand and watch the parade pass by - and as always please keep the paths clear for the parade to pass before taking a short walk to the Scarborough Sparkle event. Please be careful where you stand and keep clear of the roadsides and the lake.
If you're coming to watch at Peasholm Drive, your best route is to let the parade pass and then walk straight down Columbus Ravine to Scarborough Sparkle.
If you're planning to watch from the Northstead Manor Drive side of Peasholm Park (please refer to the map) then please let the lantern parade pass and follow the giant pink fish at the end of the parade to the event site.
We'll be passing right through the centre of Scarborough Sparkle at the Open Air Theatre at approx. 6.00p.m.
And don't forget to give our community groups a wave and a cheer as they walk by!
See you there!
