Esquimalt Lantern Festival
Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 2025 event a success!
Stay tuned for our 2026 dates.
The Esquimalt Lantern Festival (ELF) is an annual, all ages, FREE event held late September at the Esquimalt Gorge Park on the traditional land of the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations.
It features music by local musicians, handmade lanterns, large-scale puppets, and interactive art installations throughout the park. The festival's mandate is to create a warm, welcoming environment that celebrates all things weird and wonderful!
