The Texas State Fair celebrates its 126th year with its theme, “Big & Bright,” and with that comes the beautiful Chinese Lantern Festival. Although some might think of small paper lanterns, this dynamic display features many large, colorful creations that light up the night, even a handmade 110-yard long dragon made from 15,000 porcelain dishes. Visit the State Fair before October 21 to see these beautiful creations.
