The Chinese Lantern Festival, which takes place every year at the Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, has been canceled, but you still have a chance to see the beautiful glowing lanterns. And you can see them for free!
A number of the lanterns has made their way to Downtown Cary, right in time for the holidays.
Visiting each location would be a wonderful walking tour for the holidays!

You’ll find them at:
- Page-Walker Arts & History Center
- Herb C. Young Community Center
- Cary Chamber of Commerce
- Fidelity Bank
- The old Cary Library open space

Scroll down for a map of locations.
You can check them all out by foot, or see them from your car. If you walk, please wear a mask, and don’t cross any barriers to get closer to them.
Click on the map, below, to see it full-size. Please note that the map was provided by Booth Amphitheatre. We don’t know if the animals will stay put.

The line to buy tickets was very long, and the person directing the people for buying tickets was making everyone confused.
Not organized at all.
