Marvel at 1,000 glowing lanterns this fall
This luminous walk-through festival’s best highlight is over 1,000 Chinese lanterns you’ll get to marvel at, all handcrafted by talented artisans. See everything from majestic dragons and glowing pandas to intricate floral designs, the lanterns transform the South River Vineyard into a beautiful world filled with culture. The experience takes about an hour to explore, but if you want to take your time soaking it all in, you can do that while snapping some truly unforgettable photos.
While it’s not only about the magical lights, the Autumn Glow Festival is packed with fun for all ages. The kids will love bouncing through a lantern-lit inflatable house or watching the ancient art of sugar painting. There’s even a thrilling dino ride and playing on illuminated swings and see-saws. If you’re looking to be enchanted or just enjoy a festive evening outdoors, this event will bring some much needed sparkle to the Autumn months.
You can also add an extra touch of magic with getting a Wish Jar while you’re there, a star-shaped glass jar filled with mini fairy lights, available for purchase. It’s the perfect keepsake to remember this unique experience.
The Autumn Glow Festival is more than just a walk, it’s a journey of hundreds of beautiful illuminated lanterns. See it this fall, just a short drive from Cleveland.
