Don't miss out on this unique opportunity. The China Lights event, one of the most rad things you'll see any time of year, is getting ready to close, and this will be your last weekend to see it in person.

Experience Wisconsin’s Stunning Year of the Dragon Celebration

Located at Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners, the gardens celebrate the Year of the Dragon big time with more than "40 larger-than-life light displays," according to their website.

But that's not all. The China Lights event offers a variety of activities.

Others sell hot dogs and burgers that will satisfy even the fussiest eaters.

Plan Ahead: Tickets, Parking, and Bag Policy

China Lights has sold out on some weekends throughout its run at the Boerner Botanical Gardens, so I suggest you get your tickets for the year's final weekend as soon as possible.

Just a heads up, you will have to pay for parking, and they have a bag policy that restricts the size and type of bags you can bring. You can read their FAQ and order your tickets HERE.
