Imaginarium's "Light Up the Night" is a family-friendly
outdoor event taking place at Cal Expo in Sacramento
from November 19th through January 16th (select
days). The event is brought to you by the producers of
Global Winter Wonderland, which opened in 2011 in
Santa Clara as the first-ever Chinese lantern festival to
ever be held in the United States. It was held at Cal
Expo from 2014 - 2018 to appreciative crowds.
This year's event is a new concept and is a more
immersive experience featuring an incredible array of
lighting displays, responding to music and attendees.
Guests will love walking through illuminated tunnels
and the Field of Dreams aglow with over 30,000 roses
arriving at Winter Wonderland. In total there are over
three million LED lights, creating a unique and
exhilarating event specifically designed for this year's
extended holiday season. There's the Rhapsody in
Blue zone where lights are synchronised with music,
creating a festive and fun atmosphere for adults and
children alike.
In addition to this innovative and experiential evening,
the event producers note that there will be a food
court, Beer Garden, and vendors. And like past events,
there will be carnival rides and games to enjoy, along
with having pictures taken with costumed characters
and Santa (Santa plans to arrive after December 5th).
