CARY, N.C. (PRWEB) September 24, 2018
In what has become a North Carolina holiday tradition, Cary’s Booth Amphitheatre will once again be transformed into a magnificent setting when the N.C. Chinese Lantern Festival returns this holiday season with an all-new display for its fourth year in the Triangle. Tickets are now on sale for the seven-week festival, which runs November 23, 2018 through January 13, 2019.
Chinese artisans are currently hard at work crafting more than 20 all-new displays, each comprised of hundreds of parts and thousands of LED lights. The spectacular 200-foot Chinese Dragon will once again reign supreme on Cary’s Symphony Lake to mesmerize visitors of all ages. These larger-than-life lanterns promise to wow visitors to this popular holiday festival. Cultural arts performances that include Chinese drums, acrobats, contortion and martial arts will again be featured each night on the Booth Amphitheatre main stage.
"It’s almost impossible to think about winter months at Booth Amphitheatre without the beauty of the N.C. Chinese Lantern Festival. Every year surpasses the previous one as far as size, detail and majesty of the displays. We feel so fortunate to continue this tradition and bring delight and wonder to thousands of visitors,” said Doug McRainey, Town of Cary’s Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources.
