Coming Up: Historic Philadelphia, Inc. President & CEO, Amy Needle and the Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square

Chinese culture and tradition lights up the evenings in Philadelphia’s Franklin Square with the first-ever Chinese Lantern Festival in the northeastern USA. The square at 6th and Race streets in the City of Brotherly Love is celebrating its tenth birthday. 

My guest on the next Saturday broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim on AM1490 WGCH and WGCH.com is Amy Needle, CEO and President of Historic Philadelphia. 

We’ll be introduced to the origins of this festival, the significance of Franklin Square, background about the Chinese artisans who designed the lanterns, what they signify -and how you can enjoy this Chinese Lantern Festival and other nightly entertainment. 

Tune in this coming Saturday morning, May 14 at 10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
