Autumn Glow Festival

A glowing Glen Island Park is coming to the Westchester waterfront this fall as the Autumn Glow Festival transforms New Rochelle into a brightly lit waterfront wonderland. The limited-time evening event merges traditional Chinese lantern artistry with modern LED displays along the shores of Long Island Sound. Visitors will step into a dazzling escape with hundreds of larger-than-life Chinese lanterns made of modern LED lights combined with traditional hand-crafted lantern frames made from small pieces of Chinese silk cloth and steel wire. Each unique, handmade artisan piece holds a story of its own with depictions of Chinese legends and lore, as well as the beauty of nature.
