The Luminous Lantern Parade on June 10, 2016 in Brisbane, Australia. The Luminous Lantern Parade was held at Brisbane’s South Bank on Friday, featuring a parade of glowing animals and characters of all shapes and sizes lighting up the night sky. The annual event is aimed at promoting multiculturalism and welcoming refugees into Queensland’s rising multicultural communities. This year marks the ninth year of the festival, which was launched in humble beginnings when a group of just 50 people converged for a candlelight walk. Images show how far the festival has grown, with large crowds gathering for the bright and colourful tribute to a culturally diverse Australia. (Photo by Glenn Hunt/Getty Images)
