Reimagining the Traditional Festival
GlowFest draws inspiration from the beloved traditional Chinese lantern festival, blending a rich tapestry of art, culture, storytelling, and culinary delights. “GlowFest is about engaging your senses and imagination, creating your own story within the art around you,” said David Valenzuela, the event’s program director. This winter wonderland aims to celebrate community, creativity, and wonder through a series of immersive installations.

Two majestic white elephants serve as guides throughout this enchanting experience. Artistic installations, such as the Tree of Life and the Lotus Garden, are designed not only to dazzle but to also spark visitors’ imaginations, encouraging them to explore further.
Culinary Delights and Holiday Festivities
In addition to the stunning visuals, GlowFest will also feature an array of culinary options, including chef pop-ups and food trucks to satisfy every palate.
