Light a New Dream in 2013!

Chinese Lanterns to return with stunning new creations.
Will open Sept. 27 at the State Fair of Texas®, and run through January 5, 2014.

The Chinese Lantern Festival is set to ignite the lagoon at Fair Park all over again—this time with 24 spectacular lantern displays. The Lantern Festival wowed Dallas last year with brilliant, glowing artworks in vivid colors, and promises even more impressive displays this year when it opens on September 27 with the State Fair of Texas®.

Come “Light a New Dream”, and marvel at spectacular displays that include the Imperial Dragon Boat. Stretching over 300 feet, this royal craft will welcome passengers aboard in the middle of the lagoon. Elsewhere, the Porcelain Pagoda's nine towering spires will command attention, reaching as high as 52 feet. It's inspired by a Buddhist temple in China, and will match the height of the original. But ours is composed of an astounding 68,000 pieces of porcelain dishware—plates, bowls, spoons, and cups—all hand-tied using traditional techniques.

A full cast of characters will be ready to greet you—monkeys, pandas, even the Emperor & Empress! Walk through a garden of giant tulips, pass a fanciful castle, and into a stately hall of enormous lanterns. The dreams alight beginning September 27. Come feel the wonder!
