ATTRACTIONS

Over the weekend, we visited The Dandenong Festival of Lights for the second year in a row. The festival celebrates Chinese culture through a display of over 500 silk lanterns. The Festival is on from the 26^th August to the 16^th October 2016 and is open from 6pm to 10pm daily and is held at the Dandenong Show Grounds.

The amazing light display features Chinese zodiacs, temples, mythical creatures, warriors, and a wide range of animals and bugs.This year they had Dumpling Bar set up with a huge range of Dumplings and buns on offer. There was also a few other food vans serving hot food and ice creams.

TICKET PRICES

Adults $20.00

Child (4-14) $14.00

Child (0-3) FREE

HOT TIPS

** Be sure to rug up as it’s very cold and the Festival is out in the open.

** There are some pathways around the displays but most of them are on the grass and its wet and abit muddy, so be prepared.

** There are food vans there, but I would honestly suggest in bringing your own food.

** On the website it says that there are Carnival Rides (but there are only two and one wasn’t open when we went). Rides cost $5 each.

I definitely recommend an outing to see the Dandenong Festival of Lights and it will definitely be a hit for the kids, photography lovers, light enthusiasts, and lovers of Chinese Culture.

I would like to thank The Dandenong Festival of Lights for hosting my experience and as always I would never endorse or recommend a service or product that I didn’t honestly enjoy!
