In 2011, the Imaginarium team, the International Culture Exchange Group (ICEG), brought the
first-ever Chinese Lantern Festival to the United States in its first run in Santa Clara. To date,
ICEG has masterfully executed over 30 critically acclaimed, family-oriented events in cities
across the nation. In 2023, those venues included Sacramento’s Cal Expo, home of the
California State Fair (where the ICEG event has been held since 2014); Las Vegas; Ontario;
and Pomona. In 2024 and 2025, the tour schedule was expanded again and included stops
throughout California and two venues in Arizona. In 2026, the tour schedule is limited to
longer runs in select locations.
