| - I initially saw about this lights festival through social media when a couple of my friends posted beautiful photos of it. I had to go.
I live in Henderson and it is located in North Las Vegas. It was not hard to navigate, just used Maps, but when it says you're there you arrive at a park and the festival is way in the back, you can barely see it. So you have to drive through the park area way to the other side. Parking was accessible, we went a little bit late though around 9pm on a Thursday night and it was very cold so it wasn't too busy. Once you get up, there are two booths where you can buy tickets or scan your vouchers. I HIGHLY recommend to buy a voucher in advance on Groupon the price per ticket is way cheaper than buying at the door. I believe $14 compared to $20 for adults (18+).
Once you walk in you are greeted with huge "Happy Chinese New Year" sign and vibrant light settings all over the area. There's set ups of aquatic creatures, dragons, normal animals, and flowers. They also have a little historic description by each setting and how it applies to Chinese new year. I would say it's about a 2 acre lot. They also have food trucks that serve "fair food," like funnel cakes, fried Oreos, and lemonade, I didn't have the chance to check it out. Side night there are a lot of people taking photos so be courteous and walk around!! In the end my absolute favorite piece was the huge dragon. It stood about 35 feet, it was breathtaking!
I definitely recommend checking this lights festival out, it was like nothing I have ever seen! Definitely worth the drive.
