Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival at Franklin Square

The first-ever Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival is at Franklin Square now through June 12, 2016. The Festival, appearing for the first time in the Northeast United States, is a celebration of light and culture that features artisans from China and the Philadelphia region.

Franklin Square will glow with more than 25 larger-than-life illuminated displays of giant flowers, a three-story pagoda, a huge Chinese dragon and much more, created using traditional Chinese methods with thousands of LED lights in brilliant colors.

Check out my post about my preview of the Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival here.

Times: Daily, 6 – 10 pm, Fri. & Sat. until 11 pm

Admission to Franklin Square remains completely free before 6 p.m. After 6 p.m., tickets are required to enter the square and the Chinese Lantern Festival.

  • Traveling somewhere new often reminds me how quickly familiar routines can narrow our view of the world. I especially like the idea of leaving room for unplanned conversations and detours, since those moments usually become the memories that last longest.
