China Lights Tickets

China Lights brings the luminous artistry of Chinese lantern culture to North America as part of the 8th annual Magical Forest festival series. Presented by Milwaukee County Parks in collaboration with Tianyu Arts & Culture, Inc., this immersive experience transforms Boerner Botanical Gardens into a vibrant night-time spectacle. Expect intricate lantern displays, storytelling lights, and a family-friendly atmosphere that celebrates cultural exchange and community impact. The 2025 edition runs September 12 – November 2, with nightly performances and installations that honor the season’s magical forest theme.

At a glance: a fixed venue in Milwaukee, live stage entertainment each night, and a roughly 90-minute guest experience. Tickets go on sale online August 8, 2025, with entry in three time slots (5:30 pm, 7:00 pm, 8:30 pm) and Monday closures. This is not a traditional concert tour; rather, a seasonal, multi-week festival that delivers a cohesive, immersive environment for visitors of all ages.

China Lights is anchored by the official information at chinalights.org, which provides event details, schedules, and background on the artistry behind the lantern displays.
