The Festival That Sets Franklin Square Aglow
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.
