The Experience

A family-friendly nightwalk and mystical event

Experience the Magic

Winter Lantern Festival’s unique luminescent nightwalk brings the culture and craftsmanship of traditional Chinese lantern festivals, where contribution is celebration!
Tradition Brought to Life

Modern LED lights are embellished by traditionally hand-crafted lantern frames made from small pieces of classically made Chinese silk cloth and steel wire. All lanterns are created by artisans, some of which have over 20 years of experience in their trade and bring magical folklorical creatures to life.
Storytelling

Each unique piece holds a story of its own that will be told to visitors to help contextualize their experience even more.
