Our Story
Our Story
Welcome to the Asian Glow Fest, a yearly lantern festival that lights up the Florida sky! Our mission is to celebrate and share the vibrant cultures of Asia through an unforgettable evening of art, community, and tradition. The idea for this festival was born from a desire to bring a truly unique and magical experience to Florida—one that honors the ancient traditions of lantern festivals while creating a modern, family-friendly event for everyone.
What We Do
At the Asian Glow Fest, we transform a simple space into a breathtaking world of light. Our festival features massive, handcrafted lantern sculptures that depict everything from mythical dragons and graceful cranes to historic pagodas. Beyond the visual spectacle, we offer a rich cultural journey with live music and dance performances, authentic Asian street food vendors, and interactive activities like lantern-making workshops. But the heart of our event is the community lantern release, where we come together to float thousands of lanterns, each carrying a personal wish or message of hope into the night sky.
Why We Do It
We believe that sharing culture builds bridges and brings people closer. The Asian Glow Fest is more than just a beautiful event; it’s a space where families, friends, and neighbors can come together to create new memories and celebrate diversity. It’s an opportunity to experience the wonder of Asian traditions right here in Florida, fostering a deeper appreciation for the art, food, and stories that make our world so rich and diverse. Join us as we light up the night and celebrate our shared humanity!
