Chinese Lantern Festival at Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanical Garden

I had the pleasure of experiencing the splendor and magnificence of the Moonlight Forest Lantern Art Festival at the LA County Arboretum & Botanical Garden a few weeks back with my friend Andrew. I really got lost in all the colorful lights that illuminated the garden grounds, and it’s a fun way to learn about Chinese culture!

EVENT DESCRIPTION

This fall the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Garden invites you to the Moonlight Forest, an unforgettable evening experience of art, culture, and discovery. Masterfully crafted lanterns beckon you into the gardens. Some depict beautiful animals, shimmering exotic flowers, and intriguing figures from Chinese legends. An evening of dazzling color and magic begins!

The Moonlight Forest will delight children, families, and the young-at-heart with an opportunity to experience the garden in a new light. The magnificent lanterns reflect three themes; Nature, Children’s Garden, and Chinese Culture, all of which embrace the mission and communities of the Arboretum. Created by skilled artisans from China’s Sichuan province, the Arboretum has partnered with Tianyu Arts & Culture Inc. to celebrate the time-honored tradition of lantern art.
