The "Festival of Dragons & Lanterns" ran from December 15, 2023 to February 25, 2024 at Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris. This 90-second project showcase captures the scale, cultural richness, and visitor engagement of a full-scale Chinese lantern festival in the heart of Europe.
The video demonstrates our turn-key capability: from design and fabrication in Zigong, China, to on-site installation and operation in Paris. It serves as a visual case study for event organizers considering immersive, large-scale light art for their own venues.
The video features no voiceover or subtitles — the visuals are designed to speak across languages. Key scenes include:
Grand entrance archways and illuminated gateways
Massive dragon and phoenix installations with dynamic LED effects
Traditional palaces, pavilions, and mythical creature sculptures
Immersive walk-through light tunnels and themed zones
Real visitor interactions — crowds moving through the exhibits, taking photos, sharing moments
This festival is not a small-scale decoration project. It represents a complete turn-key solution delivered across continents. For event planners, venue operators, and cultural institutions, this video answers the question: "Can this be done in my city?"
The Paris location adds credibility — demonstrating that custom Chinese light art meets European safety standards, logistical requirements, and audience expectations.
