The Philadelphia Lantern Festival turns Franklin Square into a portal to another dimension Instagram Apr 23 2016 · 7:59 am Apr 23 2016 · 7:59 am share Share Tweet Email But does the spectacle make it OK for a ticketed show to take over a public park? A debate is brewing. Thank you @visitphilly & @historicphilly for inviting me out to preview Philadelphia's first ever Chinese Lantern Festival. Today is the official opening and will be in town until June 12 so stop over if you have a chance. #visitphilly #phillylanternfest #whyilovephillyA post shared by Aaron Ricketts (@aaronricketts_) on Apr 22, 2016 at 10:46am PDT × facebook twitter linkedin email
