🏮Polka Dot Dragon Lantern Festival 2025🧝‍♀️

February 7th and 8th. This year’s theme was cross pollination! Also this year I partnered up with my friend and we were mobile art installations instead of stand still ones like I’ve done in previous years.

My friend Aloria and I were Dandelion Faeries, Aloria made the skirts and I made each of us staffs of dandelion’s going to seed. Unfortunately this February was extra chilly so Aloria only joined me for the parade and I rode solo the second night and it sure was cold but there was some very cool installations!

🏮Polka Dot Dragon Lantern Festival 2024 🐳

I am doing a bit of a catch up in Blog Posts so bear with me!

The Polka Dot Dragon Lantern Festivals theme this year was Deep Sea Dreamlife, I decided to build two cardboard Whale Sharks! I used cardboard from my workplace , a lot of paint, tape and a lot of late nights. Between three people we managed to shape and paint these whales! Originally I only wanted to do one but then I suddenly had two in my home! The second whale was a bit bigger and I didn’t finish painting it till about 30 minutes before we had to be Lakeside Park to set up.

The final set up looked beautiful! The whales hung by fishing wire in my tent with glowing lights and I had gotten those round lights that make it look like there is water on the ceiling. I also had whale sounds playing it was all quite magical and everyone absolutely loved them!
