Belgrave was crowded with thousands of people with different lanterns on hand.

Taking place on the Winter Solstice, Saturday 21 June, the Belgrave Lantern Parade radiated out beautiful colours in different shapes during the darkest day of the year.

From the local emergency services, schools and council to small businesses, community groups and visitors, the free event brought great joy and cheer to the Hills community.

Check out photos of the event taken by Star Mail journalist Dongyun Kwon.
