Combining traditional Chinese lantern artisans' craftsmanship with Texas-sized holiday themes, the festival showcases thousands of handcrafted, illuminated silk-and-steel lantern sculptures organized into immersive themed lands: The Kingdom, The Village, Dino Fun Zone, Houston Landmarks, and Space Adventure. Families can stroll through glowing 60-foot-tall illuminated castles, walk under giant shimmering dragon lanterns, and witness animatronic prehistoric dinosaurs roaring among illuminated palm trees. Nightly acrobatic performances by traditional Chinese performers, an energetic carnival midway with games and amusement rides, and an international food bazaar make this a dynamic multicultural holiday tradition. ## Similar picks in Houston - [Sugar Land Holiday Lights at Constellation Field](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/sugar-land-holiday-lights-at-constellation-field--listing-d5d99126d8ab003c23cfec7d) — Nov 20 – Jan 3 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Constellation Field, Sugar Land · All ages · From $15 · checked Nov 5.
