Today we’d like to introduce you to Chelsea Atkinson.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Magical Winter Lights is a holiday festival and the largest lantern festival in the United States. This 50-day festival brings a fresh, multicultural take on holiday light shows with Texas-sized Chinese lantern sets that display bright and colorful imaginative designs. The 2017 Magical Winter Lights Houston has seven lantern sections including: Magical Wonderland, Mystical Forest, Landmarks of the World, The Lone Star State, Santa’s Christmas Village, Dinosaur Land and Mystery of the East. The larger-than-life lanterns are accompanied by live entertainment, carnival rides and games, a food court, nightly performances, and many other forms of family entertainment for all ages.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Year after year Magical Winter Lights gains more following. As a relatively new event to the Houston holiday scene, it is important to us that we create an annual event worthy of becoming Houstonians favorite holiday tradition. This year, we added two exciting new sections: Santa’s Christmas Village and The Lone Star State. Houston is Magical Winter Lights’ home so you will see Houston favorites like the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall and “HOUSTON” cut outs for Houstonians to show off their Houston pride!
Magical Winter Lights – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Magical Winter Lights has become an annual tradition for many families in three short years. We are very proud to be somewhere families want to bring their relatives to when they visit for the holidays. What sets Magical Winter Lights apart is the diversity of the attraction. Chinese lanterns of this kind have never made an appearance in Houston. We are bringing something very unique and creating an inclusive event for Houston’s diverse residents.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
The success of Magical Winter Lights comes from our visitors’ experiences and their willingness to share our event with their friends and families. It is very important to us to create an experience worth sharing.
