Do we need to bring a lantern?

Yes, kids bring their own. The library's lantern-making workshops were on Nov 2 and Nov 6, so if you missed them, make one at home.

What should kids wear?

Warm layers. The parade is outdoors on a November evening, and it's dark by then.

Do kids need to speak German?

No. It's a walk with music, so kids need no German to join in.

About

A neighborhood lantern walk run by the Heinrich-Böll-Bibliothek, a Pankow public library. Families meet at the library, then kids carry their lit lanterns through the Mühlenkiez streets with music along the way. It's a local library parade, not a staged show, so it suits kids who can manage an evening walk in the dark.
