The Canberra-Nara Candle Festival

On 24 October, CLAIR Sydney participated in the Canberra-Nara Candle Festival held in Canberra.

The festival has been held annually since 2004 in Canberra’s Nara Peace Park and Lennox Gardens to further promote the Sister City relationship between Canberra and Nara.

We promoted Nara City’s tourist spots along with other areas of Japan. Many people visited our booth, taking brochures and other informative material home with them.

This year, visitors enjoyed Japanese cuisine and culture such as Kendo, Shodo (calligraphy), and Mochitsuki (Rice cake pounding).

After the sunset, the lantern lighting ceremony was held in the park. The atmosphere was fantastic!
