Paper lanterns are paraded through the streets of Slaithwaite, a small village in West Yorkshire. This is the culmination of the 2015 Moonraking Festival that takes place in the village very 2 years. A large paper lantern moon is brought into the village along the canal where it is raked out by women of the village. It is then hoisted out and carried around the village in a lantern procession. The procession includes hundreds of paper lanterns made by local children during the preceding week when story-telling and lantern-making workshops are held. The festival purports to celebrate the legend of 19th century smugglers that outwitted excise men by telling them they were trying to rake the moon from the canal (the moon being reflected in the canal) when they had been caught trying to retrieve contraband that they had earlier hidden in the canal. This is a legend that seems occurs in other villages across the UK.
