From November 25th – January 2nd, gigantic
illuminated lanterns depicting the world’s greatest
architectural achievements such as the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel
Tower, Chichen Itza, and the Golden Gate Bridge, will light up
the sky from the parking lot at California’s Great America in
Santa Clara. Some of these structures are more than 50-feet
tall and span nearly 100-feet wide. In addition to iconic
landmarks, the festival will showcase other amazing lanterns
in the Holiday Village and Chinatown exhibit. More than 40 in
all, these eco-friendly lanterns, made from beverage cans,
bottle caps, CDs, porcelain dishes and metal flatware, were
designed by the same team of engineers who built lanterns for
the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.
Covering more than nine acres, the Festival will also feature
a dinosaur maze, carnival games, international cuisine, arts
and crafts, live entertainment, and celebrations of holiday
traditions from around the world. There’s truly something for
everyone. It promises to be the family event of the holiday
season. Created by the International Culture Exchange Group (ICEG)
the Global Winter Wonderland offers a fun and entertaining
opportunity for guests to experience the rich cultures of the
world, right here in California.
