Red Pepper Spectacle Arts

proudly present the 18th annual

Kensington Market Festival of Lights!

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

PROCESSION BEGINS AT 6:00 P.M. SHARP FROM AUGUSTA & OXFORD

Unite to ignite the longest, darkest night.

Join a cavalcade of costumed characters,

giant puppets, stiltwalkers, and firebreathers

in a luminescent lantern-lit carnival parade at Toronto's legendary Kensington Market.

Journey through Kensington's narrow streets,

encounter surprise theatrics on rooftops and in storefronts -

revel in a fiery solstice send-off at Bellevue Square Park.

Bang a drum or a pot and pan, ring a bell, sing a song, carry a lantern...

This years theme PEACE NOW!!

I'm there! I've been going for a couple of years and it's really crazy! They get together in a big circle in the wading pool in the middle of the park and burn this huge installation... it's really pagan type of ritual that celebrates all types of beliefs...
