St. Martins Parade

Enchanted Halloween and Lantern Parade for children in L.A.

October 21, 2014 by Cornelia Leave a Comment

halloweenflyer_community_2014_WEB

Holiday celebrations are approaching slowly and we know that the year is coming to an end whether we like it or not.

The countdown starts out with the American celebration of Halloween on October 31, which is a much more fun way to start into November than the observation of our German holidays Allerseelen and Allerheiligen on November 1 and 2.

Shortly after, children in Germany are looking forward to celebrate Saint Martin’s Day. Highlight of that special day on November 11 is the traditional Lantern parade when kids present their often hand crafted lanterns to their friends while walking the neighborhood and singing lantern songs.

Tivoli Rainbow Garden Preschool in Los Angeles has these two events covered for you and your children.

If you are looking for some Halloween Party for your youngsters with a little German touch, then this might be for you.
