Chief Artist Yu Wang is a native of Bazhong, Sichuan, who was born into an artistic family to parents who are traditional intangible cultural heritage craftsmen. Wang Yu's parents have been exhibiting their works at home and abroad with the Zigong Lantern Festival every year, and the imprint of the lanterns has been deeply imprinted in Wang Yu's heart since childhood.

There will also be a variety of vendors, games, food & drink, and cultural booths boasting artisanal gifts for purchase.
