The glowiest event of the year is back! From now until January 12, 2025, Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre transforms into a luminous wonderland for the 9th annual North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival. Picture this: 40+ dazzling new displays, thousands of LED lights, and nightly cultural performances at 7:00, 8:00, and 9:00 pm. It’s like stepping into an art gallery—if the art were 20 feet tall and glowing.
🎟️ Tickets start at $31 (kids 2 & under are free), and booking ahead is a smart move.
Nope, not sponsored. Just pure festive fun!
