PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Chinese lantern festival is returning to Philadelphia, but with a host of new creations.
The celebration of light and culture at Franklin Square will feature artisans from China and their magnificent steel-framed and silk-wrapped giant animals, spring flowers and trees - which will glow with more than 15,000 LED lights.
The festival debuted last year and hosted more than 92,000 visitors from all 50 states.
