About North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival

Craftsmen from Zigong, China, design and construct the hundreds of illuminated displays that feature in the event each winter. The tradition stems from ancient lantern displays created to mark the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Artisans build the massive structures using silk stretched over steel frames, creating larger-than-life animals, mythological creatures, and traditional botanical scenes that fill the outdoor park space.

Visitors walk along a illuminated path to view the glowing installations, including a massive dragon float that sits atop the water. Cultural performances take place throughout the evening, featuring traditional Chinese music, martial arts demonstrations, and acrobatics on an open stage. Those browsing listings for North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival tickets can expect a family-friendly evening walk through brightly lit displays, accompanied by ambient traditional folk music and live stage performances.
