The Rogers Chinese Lantern Festival features a beautiful display of hand-crafted lanterns made by artisans from the city of Zigong, China. The silk lanterns are a family-favourite, making the waterfront glow with bright, beautiful colours. The yearly festival features a new twist this summer. Thirty-two exhibits have been designed to represent architectural wonders from each continent of the world. The exhibits will also feature animals, marine creatures and dinosaurs. The festival will impress people of all ages -- including young children who will be in awe of bright colours and recognizable landmarks.

Besides the eye-catching lanterns, guests might also want to visit the marketplace, with food from around the world, and vendors selling hand-made items from around the world. Live performers include the Chinese Dance, Lion Dance, Wu Qiao, Martial Arts and Music Ensembles playing nightly, along with cooking demonstrations, Chinese tea ceremonies, Cinesphere movies and more.

The Chinese Lantern Festival has taken place at Ontario Place since 2006, drawing record numbers of guests to the park and celebrating a unique aspect of Chinese culture.

This is a separate ticket event.
