Moonlight Forest Lantern Art Festival at Los Angeles Arboretum

Moonlight Forest Lantern Art Festival at the Los Angeles Arboretum

Moonlight Forest is a family-friendly walk-through event where colorful designs of animals, plants and Chinese culture come to life in the form of ancient Chinese lantern art. This family friendly event is a great opportunity to experience the gardens of the Arboretum in the evening. Artisans from the Sichuan Province of China construct and design the lanterns and create a night full of light and magic during this limited time installation.
