Photos taken from the celebration of the Chinese Lantern Festival although we are not sure where this took place. Pretty cool massive lanterns. Anyone knows where this was held?

“The Lantern Festival (simplified Chinese: 元宵节; traditional Chinese: 元宵節/元宵; pinyin: yuánxiāojié) or (Yuanxiao Festival), also known as the Shang Yuan Festival (simplified Chinese: 上元节; traditional Chinese: 上元節; pinyin: shàngyuánjié) is a Chinese festival celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar year in the Chinese calendar.”

So the answer to your question is “somewhere/everywhere in China”
Ontario Place, Toronto. They have this festival every year there I believe around the time of the CNE.
Definitely the show at Ontario place, on now til Oct. 2. Saw the Eiffel tower driving by a few days ago.
