The electrifying event in Queens will celebrate the traditional Chinese art of lantern with over 120 exhibits de?signed and handcrafted by world class artisans. The exhibit will run from Dec 6, 2019, to Jan 26, 2020.
The lanterns are made in different shapes and sizes and will include the tallest North American lantern Christmas tree at 60 feet tall, a 98-foot-long panda light tunnel, life-sized dinosaurs, giant pandas and dream-like scenes of underwater life.
Altogether, the festival will utilize more than ten million individual lights to create an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
"The growing popularity of lantern festivals is due to the role of social media in today's world," said Winston Wang, General Manager of CPAA North America. "Our Hello Panda Festival has been designed to stir the senses and inspire imaginations."
