This Week Is Your Last Chance To Catch The Global Winter Wonderland In San Diego!

This week is your last chance to catch the Global Winter Wonderland during its inaugural visit to San Diego! If you haven’t been, you really should check it out – it’s pretty spectacular!

What is it? The Global Winter Wonderland is a multi-cultural celebration with large handcrafted lanterns inspired by international landscapes from around the world. It’s apparently the largest lantern festival of its kind outside of China, and its glowing structures – some more than 50 feet tall – sparkle with multicolored LEDs, music, and other effects.

And there’s rides, performances, food – the total package to make it a great date night or night with the family!
