Come experience massive handmade lanterns with thousands of lights, that will illuminate the night, including a four-hundred-foot long dragon, a thirty-foot-tall Panda, a Castle you can walk through, lantern tunnels, and more! In addition, the festival will offer Chinese acrobats, a Wishing Tree, food, and activities for children such as mini golf, dragon rides, inflatable mazes and more!

The making of Lantern lights is a craft handed down from family to family for over 2,000 years. The artisans from Zigong, China will transform the Morocco Shrine Auditorium, in Jacksonville, into a nighttime spectacular of light and color! This celebration of Chinese culture, the first of its kind in Jacksonville, begins March 8th and will run Thursday thru Sunday evenings until May 5th (6 to 11 pm), so make sure to mark your calendars!
I know my family and I are looking forward to attending. You can count on me writing about the event afterwards with my review and photos! If you live in Florida or Georgia, make the trip to Jacksonville to check out this unique event!
I am a stay at home mom to 2 teenagers and married to a wonderful man that owns his own business. We have lived in FL since 2014 and love it! I grew up in Maryland (DC area) and then lived in Memphis TN area for 15 years. Our 2 boys were born in Memphis and lived there through Elementary School. We moved to Florida because we like it and we wanted to live closer to my family (in GA). St. Augustine is such a neat town, historical, beautiful, and quaint. We love to go to the beach and my 3 guys love to fish! In my younger years (ha ha), I was a day care director and school teacher. I gave up working to be home with my kids. It's been an adventure for sure! I'll share some of that fun along the way. Now that my boys are getting older and more independent, some of the hobbies and things I enjoy on my own time are crafting (I like to consistently try new crafts and I scrapbook), photography (I have always always enjoyed taking photos but I recently got a new camera, so now I am enjoying it even more!), shelling, birds, going new places, wildlife/animals in general, and I can't forget studying the Word of God.
