Light the Way with Kondoli: Get Involved in the Lantern Workshops and Parade
The Kondoli Lantern Parade is one of the most anticipated highlights of the Winter Whale Fest, bringing together community, culture, and creativity in a breathtaking evening of light and storytelling.
This beautiful event honours Kondoli, the whale man — a central figure in the Ngarrindjeri and Ramindjeri creation story — through a glowing procession of hand-crafted lanterns, led by Elders and artists who guide us in sharing this important cultural narrative.
