‘Tis the Season to Illuminate Georgia!

Wednesdays through Sundays through January 1st

By Illuminate Georgia! December 6, 2018

Sugarloaf Mills is excited to host a new spectacular festival of lights, food, dazzling performers, themed villages and so much more. Illuminate, a Chinese Lantern Festival produced by Firefly Productions will be lighting up the season.




Lanterns symbolize joy,  merit, good luck, and brightness in the upcoming year, and this “light” is well-evident as you wander through Illuminate ’s maze of beautifully-lit pieces of art, scaling more than  20feet  tall. The walk-through encompasses  3 themed exhibits, all custom-designed and handcrafted in Zigong, China then shipped by truck,  train and boat for a voyage of 35  days  to our corner of the world...only  to go through another  30 days of installation on site at  Sugarloaf  Mills!  Visitors can experience the rich culture of  Ancient China with a  stroll through the Forbidden  City, where they will be greeted by the emperor and his Terracotta  Warriors,  and pass through the belly of a whale for a glistening look at life Under the Sea.  The last stop en route is one that certainly couldn’t be left out of a  holiday light show:  Christmas  Village!




But that’s not all!  In addition to the lantern walk-through,  a ticket to Illuminate will gain visitors access to our enclosed,  heated performance tent where they will be entertained nightly by an array of talent.  International food and artisan vendors will be available int he covered Global  Pavilion. So what are you waiting for? Experience the Season of Lights at Illuminate!
