Winter Lantern Festival
November 13 @ 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm
The Winter Lantern Festival is illuminating Williamsburg’s Jamestown Settlement with a display of electrifying handmade, traditional Chinese lanterns that you won’t want to miss. Taking inspiration from the “Following the Dragon: Chinese Ming Porcelain in Early Jamestown” special exhibition.
Guests of all ages can experience the festival’s photo-worthy luminescent night walk and show-stopping entertainment. Attendees can also stop by on-site vendors, play games, shop for keepsakes and enjoy food and drink and live acrobatic performances. It’s the perfect fun family outing or date night this winter.
