Lantern and the bright flames of fire breathers will illuminate the happy crowd in the vibrant neighbourhood as the crowd gathers in the streets at Oxford and Augusta after 6pm. Bands, giant puppets and paper mache horses will take part in the parade which will leave the market at 7pm heading towards Alexandra Park near Bathurst and Dundas. In 2015 the bonfire was created from a giant paper mache hand, this year they used a big snake in a circle, eating itself, which is a ouroboros.
"See theatrical scenarios, a myriad of performers and giant puppets, and the fiery finale at Alexandra Park just behind Scadding Court. It all starts at 6:30PM on December 21st at Oxford and Augusta (just south of College)! In collaboration with local community members and performers including host Rosina Kazi of LAL, Samba Squad, Shadowland Youth Theatre, Native Men’s Residence, Richard Underhill & the Kensington Horns, Maracatu Mar Aberto, Kazoo Clowns, Spiritwind, Eagle Woman Singers, Hand Drummer Isaiah Cada, A-Rhythmics, Befana Hag Choir, The Solsticks, Jenni-Lea & Circle Sing, New Model Circus Army, and many more."
