NEW! Lumination: Chinese Culture Celebrated in a Whole New Light
Lumination is a spectacular festival of light celebrating 2,000 years of Chinese culture and tradition with over 30 colossal light sculptures and displays.

Lumination includes gigantic reproductions of historic landmarks like the Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, and Terra Cotta Warriors, as well as playful pandas, Chinese “Qilin”, and a huge dragon constructed entirely of porcelain plates and bowls all carefully tied together by hand. This cultural festival also includes a bustling artisan marketplace and live performers from China.

As visitors stroll through the 26 acres of Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park at night, they will witness the splendor and mystic beauty of over 30 dazzling light displays, all handcrafted by master artisans from Zigong, China.

Each display is composed of hundreds or even thousands of individual pieces, from traditional hand-crafted silk lanterns to tiny glass bottles filled with colored water. These intricate light sculptures are fascinating by day and absolutely breathtaking at night.
