Time to Shine

Take a holiday stroll through a light-filled wonderland, as the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival returns to Cary, beginning Nov. 22.

Held at Koka Booth Amphitheatre, the festival will include more than 20 displays, each one comprised of hundreds of parts and thousands of LED lights.

“This is a great opportunity for citizens of Cary and beyond to experience a breathtaking holiday event unlike any they have seen before,” said Doug McRainey, director of Cary’s Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department.

“The vivid colors and bright lights are amplified not only by the layout and walkways of the amphitheater, but also by the reflections that are created by the adjacent Symphony Lake.”

New displays — including a glowing phoenix on Symphony Lake — feature amazing craftsmanship, cultural significance and artistic beauty. The festival also includes cultural performances and arts and crafts activities. Concessions are also available.

The North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival runs through Jan. 12, 2020.

Any Night tickets allow you the flexibility to pick the night you want to attend.  Tickets are one-time use only and cannot be used on multiple nights.  Tickets are $20 each for all ages. Kids 2 or younger are free and do not need a ticket.

Tickets for specific dates are $15 for adults, and $10 for children ages 3 to 17.
