About the event
Chinese Lantern Festival Destination Cruise
Sandhills Trolley Company is rolling to one of North Carolina’s most breathtaking winter traditions—the Chinese Lantern Festival at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre. Now in its 10th year, this glowing spectacle transforms the amphitheatre grounds into a brilliant display of handcrafted lanterns and larger-than-life illuminated art.
Your evening begins aboard the Sandhills Trolley with an individual charcuterie box included in your ticket. Guests will also have the option of dining at the Lantern Festival food court before or after exploring the glowing displays. Snacks and drinks are welcome on board (lap-sized coolers and tumblers only—no large coolers).
