THE SPIRIT of Lochgilphead’s much-missed lantern parade will be the inspiration for the 2017 Ignite festival of light in a few weeks.
The lantern parade offered smaller surrounding communities the chance to come to Lochgilphead to join in the celebrations. Planning is well under way by local volunteers for a ‘world exhibition’ type event, featuring mini pavilions, made using modular pieces constructed by schools, scouts and other groups.
As the event is funded by the A’Cruach windfarm trust, the three community council areas involved will be Dunadd, Lochgilphead and West Loch Fyne.
