Festival’s bright future

By CASEY NEILL

AN Australian-first light, lantern and Chinese culture celebration has touched down in Dandenong.
The Dandenong Festival of Lights opened at the Dandenong Showgrounds on 11 September and will run until 18 October.
There are 32 silk lanterns, some 20 metres wide, along a marked route and music, performances, ceremonies, food trucks and jumping castles.
