The lanterns on display are larger-than-life, vibrant and beautiful — and all crafted by Chinese artisans, from Zigong, Sichuan, China’s cultural capital for the ancient art of lantern-making. In addition to the lanterns and displays, there were nightly performances, traditionals handicrafts, a photo booth, and both Chinese and traditional fair food and beverages. The performances offered audience a glimpse into Chinese culture, and featured acts such as face changing, contortionist and Chinese Yo-Yo.
