EDITORS COMMENTS
Let there be light. . . the thrills and spills of the circus came to Slaithwaite for the ninth Moonraking festival. The extra day of 1992 was chosen to commemorate a local legend which says villagers tried to rake the reflection of the moon from the surface of the canal. In this photo print, taken on 29th February 1992, we witness a mesmerizing scene unfolding during Slaithwaite's annual Moonraking festival. A giant moon, carefully crafted by dedicated locals, takes center stage as it is pulled along in a vibrant procession through the village streets. Its ethereal glow illuminates every corner, casting an enchanting spell upon all who bear witness. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as homemade lanterns flicker softly, guiding the way for participants dressed in elaborate costumes and fancy dress attire. This snapshot from the 1990s captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon cherished traditions that have been passed down through generations. As part of this leap year celebration, Slaithwaite honors its unique heritage while embracing joyous festivities that bring together both young and old. Beyond its visual spectacle lies a deeper sense of community spirit and unity; an opportunity for residents to come together under starry skies and create lasting memories. Preserved within this Memory Lane Print is more than just an image – it encapsulates a heartfelt tribute to tradition, creativity, and shared experiences that continue to define Slaithwa
