Marvel At The Enormous Handmade Lanterns At The Chinese Lantern Festival At Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden In North Carolina
Seasonal events in North Carolina are returning to the calendar this fall. Haunted hayrides, corn mazes, apple picking dates, and more are all bringing a sense of much appreciated normalcy for North Carolinians by simply taking place.

Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden is located at 6500 S New Hope Rd, Belmont, NC 28012, where it has been since opening to the public in 1999.
And this year, beginning on October 15th, the gardens will be filled with an assortment of brightly-lit, hand-made Chinese lanterns in the form of flora and fauna, and more.
