The Washington State Chinese Lantern Festival returns to Riverfront Park – a celebration of Chinese culture and light. This year, the Lantern Festival opens on Friday, September 16, 2016, and will run through Sunday, October 30, 2016.
Ticket prices are lower this year, and the event features 30 new displays along with some returning favorites.
With redevelopment of Riverfront Park underway, the main entrance will be located on Havermale Island, just north of the South Howard Street pedestrian bridge (currently closed).
