The mechacanic on the moving sculptures was amazing! Stockton really stepped up with this festival. Normally, we wouldn't stop in Stockton for anything. It doesn't have the best reputation, but where we walked around before entering the event felt very safe. There we so many families and couples, young people together in groups. The atmosphere was perfect for the holiday season. Stockton, you did yourself proud.
The lights at the festival and the colors were incredible. I was absolutely mesmerized by the giant primate at the far back. I'm jumping to get it moving.

Read moreIt's a great show, I applaud the creators for putting so much effort into it and make it so interesting and exciting! The jelly fishes were mesmerizing. I loved the interactive elements, there was so much to do that I don't think I tried every game. I want to come again, and definitely will next year! This festival should be advertised more, I was specifically looking for a lights show after visiting Sensorio - and surprisingly, I did not find any information about this festival. I stumbled upon it completely by accident, by staying in a hotel close by. And honestly, I liked it even more than Sensorio. There are so many attractions in a such compact space, it's true art, and the creators deserve an award for putting...
