The '''Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival''' in Franklin Square returns to Philadelphia’s Historic District with all-new, '''handcrafted lanterns that illuminate when the sun sets'''. Its truly a sight to see.

For more than five weeks, the park will glow with new (read: different every year) handcrafted lanterns constructed by lantern artisans from China.

Lantern designs in previous years have included sea creatures, lions, pandas and mythological creatures.
