Chinese artisans created 33 LED art installations for Celebration Park at the State Fairgrounds and attendees could buy Chinese and traditional fair food, and assorted beverages.
The performers featured folk dancing and acrobatic acts at different times of the evening for the spectators in the open air on the stage. Traditional handicrafts, which include natural stones and figurines, were on sale.
