2012 Texas State Fair - Chinese Lantern Festival

We purchased tickets to The Adams Family at the Music Hall at Fair Park during fair week.  The tickets also give us admission to the fair and so we go early in the afternoon so that we can walk around and enjoy the festivities.  One of the unique attractions this year is the Chinese Lantern Festival. We purchase tickets for the evening session and walk through it before the play starts in order to enjoy it all lit up.  Everything you see in these pictures are LANTERNS.  It is full of color, beauty, and playfulness.  Truly fun to wander through the different scenes that have been set up.

There were a few additional lanterns made just for this show.  Check out the Texas Longhorns!


These are all placed out on the water and the reflections add to the magic of it all.








Another one that was done especially for the United States show.  The contrast of the statue and the pagoda creates an interesting visual.  Don't you agree?
