The Winter Lantern Festival is illuminating Williamsburg’s Jamestown Settlement with a display of electrifying handmade, traditional Chinese lanterns that you won’t want to miss. Opening November 13 and running through January 4, 2026, guests of all ages can experience the festival’s photo-worthy luminescent night walk and show-stopping entertainment. Attendees can also stop by on-site vendors, play games, shop for keepsakes and enjoy food and drink and live acrobatic performances. It’s the perfect fun family outing or date night this winter.
