What to Expect

The sparkling light park invites visitors on a 30-45 minute walking journey through distinctly themed sets and dreamlike worlds. At the center of the adventure is Lumi, a magical light bulb and the host of the festival.

In addition to the 10 acres of the light park, you will be able to visit the open-air Mini Gallery. This introduces you to the history and culture behind lantern-making traditions that inspired the LuminoCity Festival. In addition, The Lumi Gift Shop will feature merchandise perfect for holiday gifts and some memories. 

“We look forward to presenting a safe, well-produced, and heartwarming event for everyone who wants to come get lost among the lights,” says Xioaoyi Chen, the Founder of LuminoCity Festival.
