Forever Young
Granville Island
As a thriving community of arts and culture, Granville Island provides endless inspiration that captures the spark of youth. As we welcome the new year, we once again light up the island with the vitality of the zodiac animal: the Horse. Featuring local artists as well as students in Arts Umbrella and Eastside Arts Society programming, this series of lanterns reflects the vibrant momentum of the graceful creatures. No matter how hard the winds blow, we race forwards in a brilliant path of light, laughter, and colours.
The Lantern City is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered on this land, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples whose arts and stories inspire us to bring communities together.
