The Winter Lantern Festival is heading again to Tysons, Virginia, this season. The event is based on the traditions of Chinese festivals, featuring elaborate silk lanterns shaped into colorful creatures large and small. This year’s display promises to showcase more than 1,000 handmade lanterns. The experience is billed as kid-friendly and interactive, with glowing swings and see-saws and a bounce house. The attraction is estimated to take one hour to walk through, and refreshments will be available on-site.
The luminescent fixtures will light up Lerner Town Square in Tysons from November 24 through February 18, 2024, with tickets available to purchase starting October 25. Tickets start at $15.99 for children and $21.99 for adults. The show has sold out in New York in previous years; fans can sign up for a ticket waitlist now. Ldi Lighting Show
