Ashbourne Lantern Spectacular

4 Dec, 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Venue: Ashbourne Town center

Event Details

Don’t miss the magical 2026 Lantern Parade, a half-mile procession of candle-lit paper and willow lanterns winding through the streets. Old favourites the owl, the polar bear, the dragon and the giant gingerbread men will all be there plus some new arrivals for 2026.

Street entertainment will fill the night including an amazing son-et-lumiere show after the parade.

Many shops are open late and there are street food and market stalls all around the centre plus a craft fair in the Town Hall. You’ll find Santa down near the Greenman.
