NC Chinese Lantern Festival

NC Chinese Lantern Festival: The Chinese Manufacturing Power Behind America’s Most Iconic Lantern Show

The NC Chinese Lantern Festival in Cary, North Carolina, has grown into one of the most influential Chinese-themed light festivals in the United States. Since its launch in 2015, this annual winter event has attracted over 200,000 visitors each year. Held at the scenic Koka Booth Amphitheatre, the festival showcases large-scale lantern displays—from mythical creatures and floating installations to interactive light tunnels.

Behind such a successful event lies the craftsmanship and logistical power of skilled lantern manufacturers. For organizers, selecting a lantern factory with international experience, strong design capabilities, and deep cultural insight is critical to ensuring a seamless and spectacular festival experience.
