NC Chinese Lantern Festival Visits Koka Booth Amphitheater for the 2nd Year Cary, NC

This Summer, we were all so thrilled when the Koka Booth Amphitheatre announced the return of the NC Chinese Lantern Festival!  Last year's NC debut festival left its indelible mark so we've all been anticipating the return.

I was delighted to be invited to the NC Media Opening on a perfectly chilly Fall, soon-to-be-Winter, night! I have all of the pre-views for you so that you can go ahead and book your own tickets and enjoy the show!

With an entrance like this, everyone wants to attend! We loved this authentic Chinese entrance to the Festival!

We loved all of the fun exhibits. We goofed off a lot which led to plenty of giggles!  And I still stand in awe of our boys who are looking like men! This parenting is spectacular and surreal. 

The entrance was gloriously lit with these beautiful lanterns. 

Just look at these beautiful and creative lanterns! We loved all of the primary colors! They are so vivid! 

Here are the gorgeous Tulips! We loved this row of Tulips. Every area of the path is lined with beautiful lanterns. 

We loved all of the details of Under the Sea the beautiful fish and jelly fish. 

Here is another beautiful view!

Here is a fun view of the Lions and Safari exhibit. Look at the cute and vibrant Palm Trees. 

Rawr!! Our "Tigers" loved the Lions! They were pretty magical. 

 My Daddy loved Owls! Look how colorful these little Owls are!  I wanted to hug them.

The Pandas were darling! They are on a tandem slide. Our boys had to have a photo with them. They are quintessentially Chinese! 

How about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! A little Disney Magic is always celebratory! 

One of my favorites were the Swans. The Twin Swans! Are they not gorgeous!  They were reflecting on the lake.  

The Santa and the Reindeer was a favorite Exhibit for Christmastime!  Now, Dancer, Prancer, Rudolph! 

Here we are one happy family at the Rainbow Lantern Exhibit! It was a cold night with warmth in our hearts for the beauty and family time spent together! 

And Koka Booth Amphitheatre helped keep us warm with the hot cocoa and heaters! So, wrap up, go and have a magical and memorable time at the NC Chinese Lantern Festival this year tickets are available here! 

Thank you Koka Booth Amphitheatre for hosting this fabulous event! 

Warmly,
