Went with my 8 year old for a mommy daughter date. We had an absolute blast. Food truck options were great. Atmosphere was amazing. We did bring our own markers to color on the lanterns since they only give you one color to use. I will do it again next year and invite the whole family.

The festival was really well organized, though they struggled finding my Groupon tickets, the format and flow was communicated multiple times throughout the evening. Only advice is know the location you’re going because bugs were overwhelming (they recommended bug spray) and they didn’t have enough food trucks (two + Kona) for the size of the crowd.
