Beautiful

It was very cool. A lot of hard work went into the displays.

It was great my grandkids age 6 and 3 had a terrific time

Great helpful staff & great interactive entertainment with the dragon dance!

It was absolutely beautiful! Both of my kids really enjoyed it. My son is autistic and was completely fascinated by all the lights. It can be hard to find activities that he really enjoys because he’s very particular about what interests him, so seeing him so captivated and excited throughout the experience meant so much to us. We will definitely be back!

The festival was phenomenal. Each display was magnificent... so colorful and bright!!! Both my granddaughters were in awe and I thoroughly enjoyed thd evening

Kidd loved it . Vert colorful and bright.

The whole event was wonderful! All of the caricatures shined bright and looked so amazing. We really enjoyed the Asian theater event .. well done! The food was very good.
