‘Panda Festival’ brings colorful holiday lights to Flu.
BY JENNA BAGCAL
Head to Citi Field this winter,
where bright lanterns,
international cuisine and
cultural arts will collide.
From Dec. 6 to Jan. 26,
2020, the Flushing stadium
plays host to the first-ever
Hello Panda Festival, produced
by CPAA North America.
Spanning 750,000 square
feet, the landmark event will
feature over 120 handcrafted
lanterns, global food vendors
curated by The World’s Fare
and arts experiences including
live performances, modern
art exhibits, a holiday market
and traditional crafts.
“Hello Panda’s mission is
to not only give New Yorkers
and visitors something they’ve
never seen before but also deliver
an experience they can’t
find anywhere else,” said Winston
Wang, general manager
of CPAA North America. “Our
festival will offer a variety of
immersive and social media
moments that introduce guests
to the artistry of lantern-making
while bringing different
communities together through
food and culture.”
The festival’s lantern display
is sure to delight with
over 300,000 LED lights and
several interactive elements.
Some of the world’s leading
lantern artisans will handcraft
and paint over 120 displays
to reflect the tradition,
innovation and creativity of
the Chinese art.
Display highlights include
the world’s tallest Christmas
tree lantern, life-sized dinosaurs
and safari animals, a
huge fairytale castle and a 98-
foot-long light tunnel.
Food will also be one of the
main attractions at this year’s
Hello Panda festival through a
partnership with The World’s
Fare. Organizers of the largest
and most diverse food and
drink event in New York City
will lend their tastemakers to
curate vendors in the tented
and heated food pavilion.
Foodies can choose dishes
from 60 diverse vendors offering
a wide selection of
global cuisines.
“The World’s Fare is honored
to partner with Hello
Panda to celebrate culture in
the most diverse city in the
world,” said Joshua Schneps,

cultural arts through live performances,
galleries and a holiday
market across six giant
heated tent areas. The festival
