Lantern Festival
The Chinese Lantern Festival is back at the Fairplex in Pomona from Nov. 21 to Jan. 3.
This year’s theme is blooming seasons, where lanterns inspired by nature will depict differing topics such as the Amazon Rainforest, carnivorous plants, holiday themed displays and more. An authentic Chinese folk concert and traditional dance show will also be offered.
The event runs from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Sunday every week.
‘Facing our Truth’
The theater department will present “Facing Our Truth: Short Plays on Trayvon, Race and Privilege” over the course of two weekends.
