The West Footscray Op Shop hosted its lantern of festival of dreams on Saturday, February 24 to celebrate the new year.
Manager Pradeep Tiwari said they had a great turnout on the day.
“It was a great turn out for our first event with over 300 people attending throughout the day,“ he said.
“It was put together by an amazing volunteer group of Chinese migrant group of ladies from The Op Shop West Footscray.“
Mr Tiwari said the handmade lanterns took six weeks to make, coming to a total of 800.
“Probably the best part of the festival is the attendees who came and wrote a dream on a piece of paper,“ he said.
“We then planted those “dreams” into a pot plant or tree which symbolises as that tree grows so does your dream blossom and flourish.“
