EVENTS Calendar
DECEMBER * Compiled by Pamela A. Keene
Festival lights up
the night
Colorful lanterns create an immersive wonderland
of Chinese myths, legends and zodiacs at the
Winter Lantern Festival Atlanta. Staged on
6 acres at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds,
Lawrenceville, the event is open through Dec. 31.
Illuminating the fairgrounds are more than
1,000 handmade Chinese lanterns and lights in the
shapes of mammoths, polar bears, penguins and
other kinds of animals, as well as a 50-foot-tall
display of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Each
lantern is made from hand-painted silk cloth that's
draped over a frame, then illuminated with LED lights.
" We're so excited to bring the Winter Lantern Festival to
Atlanta, " festival spokesman Tony Jiang says. " This family-friendly
experience has proved to be a holiday favorite year after year in
other cities, and we're looking forward to seeing residents
witness the magic of the lights and lanterns for the first time. "
Displays reflect centuries of Chinese culture as well as
glimpses of dinosaurs and giant mythical creatures. Guests can
ride on illuminated swings and seesaws, walk through lighted
tunnels, enjoy festive food and drinks and buy artisan gifts and
souvenirs.
The festival comes to metro Atlanta after three years of
sold-out shows in New York City and Washington, D.C.
