Hundreds of handcrafted Chinese lanterns lit with LEDs fill the outdoor grounds of Snug Harbor on Staten Island for this limited-time evening walk, which opens Snug Harbor's 50th anniversary season. The displays draw on Chinese folklore and legends. Each ticket includes an acrobatic show by performers from China, with stunts and face-changing. Food and drinks from local vendors are sold on site, and Snug Harbor describes the festival as family-friendly with accessible amenities. It runs rain or shine. Opening night is November 19 from 6:30 to 10 pm; from November 20 through January 10, 2027 it runs nightly from 5 to 10 pm, with last entry at 9 pm. Tickets go on sale at 10 am on Thursday, October 22, and the page says they are limited; groups under 15 buy regular tickets through the Fever marketplace.
