Fair notes

Nights the street stays open

Temple grounds, school yards, and the one lane that closes for paper lanterns. A record of how a neighbourhood throws a evening, not a catalogue of prizes.

Light

One lantern, one doorway

Why the quieter streets look better than the ones that compete with shop floodlights.

Hosts

Who actually organises it

The youth club, the temple committee, and the aunties who bring the chairs. No tickets required.

Manners

Leaving the lane as you found it

A short note on rubbish, music volume, and why the fair ends before midnight.
