NC Chinese Lantern Festival

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival in Cary, North Carolina. This was my first time attending and I have to say it was an amazing adventure!!

Truthfully, I had no clue what to expect when we arrived. But once we did - it was breathtaking. Just the entrance way alone was a sight to see!

We began the journey of seeing over 15,000 LED lights in exclusively-made lanterns all Made in China, with the Butterfly Gallery - an archway of beautiful lantern butterflies. If you follow my Instagram (@Mister_JB_Sir) - you’ll know I love Butterflies, according to Kris Jenner.

Exploring the 15+ large lantern displays, anywhere from deer to poison dart frogs, to panda’s playing with bamboo; each display was very detailed, unique and breathtaking.

We also had some fun on the swing display, which lit up our soul.

Prior to watching an amazing on-stage Chinese cultural performance, I grabbed a Hot Honey Ginger Tea from local food truck, "Cripsy Gyoza" - which was amazing!!!

Overall, attending the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival was a great way to officially end the Holiday Season. If you're in the Raleigh, North Carolina area next year - make sure to check it out!
