The festival begins at 3:30pm, where you're encouraged to come dressed in costume.

There will be a costume contest, hayrides, live music, lantern making, local vendors, and food trucks. All ages are sure to find something they love.

Then as darkness approaches, light up your own lantern creations...

...and view giant lanterns that are full of intricate details.

The nighttime parade begins at 7pm, where you're free to walk along the glowing route. Thousands will be in attendance, including street performers, musicians, and more. How fun!
