    Magical Winter Lights has returned to Houston. The giant lantern festival will be at The Fort Bend County Fairground, 4310 State Highway 36, Rosenberg, Texas 77471, through January 5, 2025.

    At Magical Winter Lights, you can tour more than 100 individual lantern sets in eight unique themed sections.

    All the lanterns and acrobat performances are included with admission.

    Things to See at Magical Winter Lights Houston

    Each year we would arrive at opening to see the festival in the light... and capture the best photos at dusk... just before it got too dark for this amateur photographer! And then we got to see everything in the dark, when it becomes extra magical.

    In the past, we've especially liked the ice castle, giant mermaid, the Houston skyline and the light up checker board dance floor… that changes colors as you walk on it!

    Magical Winter Lights Video

    To give you an idea of what to expect, here is some video from a couple of years ago!

     

     

     

    Things to Do at Magical Winter Lights

    This festival is in a parking lot… and it’s very big. Half of it is a lantern festival with world landmarks you will recognize, dinosaurs and much much more. The other half is live entertainment and a carnival.

    The carnival rides are extra, so either get ready to buy an all you can ride wristband (which has been $20+ in the past) or tell the kids you are only doing the lights and entertainment (which is all included in the admission price).

    More to Know

    Strollers can be brought in and there is plenty of room to maneuver. No outside food or drinks are allowed, but there are a lot of food options inside the festival. In the past, there have been no real restrooms (just port-a-potties). I am not certain about the new location.
