If you’re looking for holiday festivities to take part in this season, look no further than the Festival of Lanterns located at Cowabunga Bay in Henderson and immerse yourself in the beauty and glow of Chinese Lanterns.
The opening of the Festival of Lanterns kicked off November 5th with guests celebrating with a ribbon cutting ceremony, cocktails and featured entertainment. The lanterns featured at the park were designed with thousands of feet of silk and created by a team of 25 skilled artisans.
Upon entry to the park, you’ll enjoy the colorful 26-foot tall dancing lion. Also throughout the park you’ll find a two-story dazzling Asian Tower, a dreamy peacock with bursts of color and scene of playful pandas. And don’t miss out on the iconic landmarks of the world showcased across shimmering silk and twinkling lights.
Check out their Fall Harvest Menu with seasonal specialties like grilled corn on the cob, roasted turkey legs, homemade tomato basil soup with specialty grilled cheese and turkey cranberry sliders on a sweet Hawaiian roll. And for the adults, a tangy Thanksgiving margarita.
Moving into December, experience the holiday spectacular with festive trimmings. Photos taken with Santa are sure to be Instagram worthy with a spectacular 20-foot tall Christmas tree backdrop. This holiday menu will feature cocktails including a Christmas Citrus drink, a festive Mojito.
The festivities don’t stop there. Ring in the Lunar New Year celebration at Cowabunga Bay with the magnificent Chinese wonderland, Asian folklore, and Chinese cuisines. From acrobats to a majestic 45 foot long dragon king emerging from Cowabunga Bay’s wave pool will make for a memorable experience.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to experience a unique excursion that is the only one of its kind west of the Mississippi,” said Shane Huish, owner of Cowabunga Bay. “We have partnered with Zigong Lantern Group, the premier leader in the world of Lantern Arts, to bring this enchanted experience to Cowabunga Bay for everyone to enjoy.”
The Festival of Lanterns at Cowabunga Bay will run through mid-February. Information about the event, including operating hours can be found on their website. Cowabunga Bay is located in Henderson at 900 Galleria Drive.
