About Us
Kaleido Entertainment was founded in 2018 with a vision to create immersive, family-friendly experiences that celebrate light, culture, and creativity. Our debut event—the Winter Lantern Festival in New York City—quickly became a beloved tradition and grew into the city's largest and most popular light festival. Garnering over 100 media placements, including features in The New York Times, BBC, and Time Out New York, the festival captivated hundreds of thousands of visitors with its stunning artistry and cultural storytelling.
Building on that success, Kaleido has since launched three additional seasonal experiences: the Sealight Festival, Autumn Glow Festival, and Glow Wild Festival. Each event is thoughtfully designed to illuminate the unique spirit of its season and location, featuring large-scale lantern displays, interactive installations, and live entertainment.
Our festivals now span venues across the East Coast and Midwest,
From botanical gardens and historic estates to city parks and zoos. Today, Kaleido Entertainment continues to grow its national footprint, forging new partnerships and bringing world-class light festivals to communities across the United States. At our core, we are dedicated to promoting public art, cultural appreciation, and moments of shared wonder.
