Since its inception in 2015, this festival has been a staple of Texas holiday attractions, drawing tens of thousands of attendees to the Houston area every year. As the largest lantern festival in the nation, Magical Winter Lights presents 20 acres of lantern attractions, cultural performances, character entertainment, Chinese arts & crafts, and carnival rides and games each season. Every year, 150 artists and builders work together to create an enchanting journey through more than 100 authentic lantern sets reminiscent of landmarks of the world, skylines of Houston, traditional Asian culture, and much more. I am not certain about the new location.Magical Winter Lights (MWL) is a two month annual holiday celebration featuring larger-than-life lantern masterpieces developed from Chinese lantern-making techniques. In the past, there have been no real restrooms (just port-a-potties). No outside food or drinks are allowed, but there are a lot of food options inside the festival. Strollers can be brought in and there is plenty of room to maneuver. (In past years you could look for discounts on the website and at Costco.) More to Know Magical Winter Lights is open daily through January 2, 2022, including holidays.

General admission is $23+ for adults, $15+ for kids and free for kids two and under. The carnival rides are extra, so either get ready to buy a $20+ all you can ride wristband or tell the kids you are only doing the lights and entertainment (which is all included in the admission price).
Also, the snow sisters visit daily by the ice castle! There are some slides between the lanterns, some spots for photos and a lot of interactive things to do in the dinosaur tent. The other half is a stage with live entertainment and a carnival. Half of it is a lantern festival with world landmarks you will recognize, dinosaurs and much much more. This festival is in the parking lot of the stadium… and it’s very big. To give you an idea of what to expect, here is some video from a couple of years ago! The acrobats were great!

We especially liked the ice castle, giant mermaid, the Houston skyline and the light up checker board dance floor… that changes colors as you walk on it!Īfter the second lap, the boys went to the carnival while the girls got a front row seat for the live performances. and then took another lap to see it all in the dark. We would take one lap around Magical Winter Lights Houston to see what was new. just before it got too dark for this amateur photographer! And then we got to see everything in the dark, when it becomes extra magical! Magical Winter Lights had to skip a year because of the pandemic, but before that, this was our very favorite Houston area holiday light show.Įach year we would arrive at opening to see the festival in the light.
