For two days, World of Love is set to feature a variety of music, dance, art and food – and a lantern show.
Town Center Park will be filled with colorful displays this long weekend.
The World of Love Multicultural Carnival will close out summer in Coquitlam with a celebration of food, art and lights tomorrow and Monday (September 4-5).
The free event is hosted by the Society for the Promotion of Chinese Culture of North America.
It aims to showcase the diversity of the Tri-Cities and Metro Vancouver regions with more than 250 performers and vendors.
Also, a Chinese lantern show will light up the park with charming characters ranging from bold dragons to graceful swans.
Animal themed displays are features of the Qinhuai River style lanterns that originate from Nanjing, China and are set to provide interested guests with plenty of photos.
Arts and crafts during World of Love include lantern making, face painting, paper cutting, tea making and calligraphy.
Residents can also have a crack at sugar painting – a form of traditional Chinese folk art using hot, liquid sugar to create two-dimensional objects.
The multicultural carnival is scheduled for tomorrow (September 4) from 10am to 9pm and Monday (September 5) from 10am to 6pm.
