Nara Candle Festival

Nara Candle Festival
The Canberra Nara Candle Festival is a celebration of friendship and goodwill marking the sister city relationship between Canberra and Nara, Japan.

At dusk the festival's centre-piece comes to life, with the lighting of more than 2000 floating candles arranged in the dry riverbed of Canberra-Nara Park. As the sun sets, the candles form a serene view, flickering away into the evening sky and illuminating the park in a soft glow.
