Light Up the Night at the Water Lantern Festival

Carss Bush Park will be transformed into a breathtaking wonderland of light, reflection, and connection, for one weekend only this autumn at the Water Lantern Festival.

Cronulla Water Lantern Festival

Families decorate lanterns, jot down hopes or messages, then watch as they're set afloat, dotting the water with soft light. It's simple, hands-on and the perfect event for all ages.

Beyond the lantern release, there's live music humming in the background, food trucks for casual dinner plans, and plenty of space to wander.

Part creative activity, part evening wander, the Cronulla Water Lantern Festival is an easy win for families wanting a calm, memorable night out by the water.
