Lantern Parade 2023 in the streets of Malakoff

Every winter, light shows are a feast for the eyes in every corner of Paris and the Ile-de-France region. From the countless Christmas illuminations to the light trails and monumental projections, there's something for everyone.

OnSaturday, December 2, 2023, the town of Malakoff has opted for a lantern parade. Conceived by Compagnie des Poussières, this poetic nocturnal stroll will illuminate the streets of the Hauts-de-Seine town from 6pm for almost an hour.

The free lantern parade will follow a well-defined route, crossing the town of Malakoff from south to north.
