Edgemont Wildlights Lantern Festival North Vancouver
Aug 24, 2007
By Catherine "Cat" Barr
The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print. |
It was a dark but moonlit night, - when something gave us quite a fright. A carnival was underway, - in Edgemont on this special day. Come bring your lanterns was the call, - and join the Wildlights Festival. The village came alive with light, - stilt walkers, fire and dances bright. And magic swirled round all, it seems - thanks to North Van and Public Dreams.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.
If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks. |

The festival is always a big family affair. And the Philips clan, owners of Giftworks, is a big part of Edgemont Village. |
