Bellingrath Gardens & Home to host Chinese Lantern Festival

From April 17 to June 15, Bellingrath Gardens & Home in Theodore, Alabama, will transform into a breathtaking display of light and artistry with the inaugural Gulf Coast Chinese Lantern Festival.

As night falls, the gardens will turn into a luminous dreamscape with 41 towering handcrafted light sculptures glowing with vibrant colors, lighting the landscape with interactive artistry and imagination. Visitors will journey through the estate, where each glowing display tells a story through plants, animals and fantastical creatures, blending ancient tradition with modern innovation.

Many displays invite interaction—dance with vibrant figures, play games, and immerse yourself in the fun. Purchase Daily Tickets or Flex Passes.
