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.
