I am excited to attend this Chinese Lantern Festival! I have never seen lanterns like these before in person, and they look amazing from the pictures. This looks like a fun way to experience some Chinese culture. I am also pleased to announce a giveaway for four tickets to the festival!

WOW! Stunningly beautiful & so unique! If this was going on near me, I would have LOVED to go with my husband & some of our adult kids & grandson!
I know we all would really enjoy it!
However, this IS very close by a relative of ours, Glen & coincidentally he posted a photo of This same festival, the same morning I came across your giveaway!!! I KNOW he would take his college daughter and his high school age son, he is the most dedicated dad and those 3 love doing so many fun things together. For the 4th person, I am guessing his wife or one of his kids’ friends would go too. I asked him if he would like me to try to win these for him and his family and he WOULD! If I win, I am having them sent directly to him in California!
Thanks for the chance!
I hope this festival comes to Michigan someday!
I know my husband and I would go for sure, even if I didn’t have tickets I won!
The pictures make me excited about this event too! I guess I am lucky that they decided to stop in Southern California and hopefully they do make it out to your area soon as well. That is so funny that your relative also posted about this festival on the same day. Good luck!
I would take a friend and wow also, it looks spectacular!
Would love to take my family, looks amazing!
I would take my daughter and 2 grandaugters … looks like a spectacular time !
