The spectacular Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square is back with 29 illuminated displays created by hand using traditional Chinese methods.
Highlights of this year’s festival include, a 200-foot long phoenix, a walk-through dragon tunnel, mythological creatures created from small glass bottles filled with colored water, and a host of interactive installations such as lit swings and a fortune-telling wheel. The lanterns are installed all around the seven-acre Square, and guests stroll under, around, and through the displays each evening. Enjoy the light show, cultural performances, crafts, food and the Dragon Beer Garden until June 30, 2019.
