Gulf Coast Chinese Lantern Festival

Join us for the inaugural Gulf Coast Chinese Lantern Festival as Bellingrath Gardens & Home transforms into a breathtaking display of light and artistry. As night falls, the Gardens will turn into a luminous dreamscape, where 41 towering, handcrafted light sculptures glow with vibrant colors, lighting the landscape with interactive artistry and imagination. 

Visitors will journey through the estate, where each glowing display tells a story through plants, animals, and fantastical creatures, blending ancient tradition with modern innovation. 
Many displays invite interaction—dance with vibrant figures, play games, and immerse yourself in the fun. 

Purchase Daily Tickets or Flex Passes.

What to Expect
As you explore, you’ll find endless opportunities for photos and laughter with awe-inspiring moments that will stay with you long after the night ends. Bring your whole family, invite your friends, and be part of this extraordinary festival—because some experiences are too wonderful to miss.
