ERRIL Street was bustling once again this weekend as Mansfield celebrated its annual Lantern Festival, marking the Winter Solstice with plenty of cold weather activities.
More than 2000 people attended the nighttime event on Saturday with visitors from Milawa, Pakenham, Shepparton, Altona, Brighton and everywhere in between taking part in the festivities.
A 300-strong parade launched the night, showcasing a variety of lanterns and creative designs.
The chilly night was warmed by delicious hot food and a spectacular fire breathing display.
Festival goers could purchase light-up rainbow crowns, swords or even defend the galaxy with blue lightsabres.
