Beautifully decorated and illuminated boats, cheery people, live music, community spirit, large smiles on children’s faces…what more can you ask for?
The loud and colorful procession will start at 6.30pm at Harrison Park and the boats will slowly move towards the Lochrin Basin. The first boats will be reaching the Leamington lift bridge around 7pm (and the last ones arriving around 7.30pm...)
The public is invited to gather and spread along that urban stretch of the Union Canal to witness the entertaining display!
Anybody holding a lit lantern will received treats from the passing boats...
