Dragon Lights in Chicago

May 6, 2018

For those who don't know what the Dragon Lights Festival is:

The traveling Dragon Lights Festival has set up more than 40 gigantic Chinese lanterns in Soldier Field South Parking Lot, providing the perfect environment for some twilight selfies. The event features an enormous 200-foot-long dragon lantern, a whale, an adorable panda wall and plenty of other colorful creations. In addition to the lanterns, the festival also features nightly performances from acrobats, musicians and dancers as well as demonstrations of calligraphy, painting and knot-tying.

This was extra interesting for us as a family since our parents usually went to sleep pretty early but as this was focused on night lights, didn't start until past their bedtime. I don't have much to say besides enjoy the lights!


Here are some images from back then – enjoy!

Lanterns are pretty.
