Lantern Festival Partnerships with Local Teams
Star Factory Lantern works with venue operators, event agencies, investors and project developers planning a lantern festival, light show or night attraction. Share your site and local requirements so we can plan the displays, production and delivery.

What the project may add
Develop an Evening Programme for Your Venue
When the site, market and operating plan support it, a lantern festival can add a seasonal evening programme, create family photo moments and provide space for ticketing or sponsorship. Attendance and commercial results still depend on the venue, local market, pricing, promotion and operation.
- Theme parks can add an evening route after daytime operations.
- Cities can plan temporary displays for plazas, parks and waterfronts.
- Malls and resorts can create seasonal scenes and visitor photo areas.
How responsibilities are divided
Connect Local Knowledge with Factory Production
The local team coordinates the buyer, site information, local approvals and commercial discussions. Star Factory Lantern reviews the brief, develops the agreed designs, quotes and produces the displays, and prepares them for delivery. Confirm the installation and maintenance arrangements for each project.
- Concept and layout support based on a defined site or buyer brief.
- Factory quotation, production updates and pre-shipment checks.
- Export packing, section labels and installation drawings or guidance.
Working with a local team
Magic Jurassic: From Production to On-Site Collaboration
For Magic Jurassic, Star Factory Lantern designed and produced all display products and arranged their transport. We worked alongside the local team during on-site installation and maintained the products during operation.
For a similar project, agree the assembly information the local crew needs, who coordinates installation and what maintenance support is included before shipment.
Ways to work together
Choose the partnership model that matches your role
The right structure depends on who manages the buyer, contract, approvals, proposal and local delivery. These three models provide a starting point for that discussion.
For local introductions
Referral partner
For agencies, consultants and project developers introducing a buyer with a specific project. Your team coordinates the buyer conversation and gathers the site brief. Star Factory Lantern reviews feasibility, develops the agreed concept direction and prepares the factory quotation.
Agree who follows up with the buyer, how designs and prices are presented, and which company contracts for each part of the work.
Discuss this model
For agencies and resellers
White-label supply
For agencies or resellers supplying displays as part of their own service package. Your team manages the client proposal, contract and local commercial terms. Star Factory Lantern provides the agreed production, technical review, packing and shipping support.
Confirm the use of drawings, photographs and branding, the approval process, and who handles client questions and post-delivery support.
Discuss this model
For destination operators
Project development
For venue operators or investors assessing a larger night attraction. Bring the site, audience, schedule and operating brief. Star Factory Lantern helps review the display mix, route, main scenes and production phases before the scope is approved.
Agree which layout and design materials are needed to review the budget, schedule and installation scope with the local team.

We can assess opportunities more effectively when there is a defined buyer or site, a clear local decision process and enough time for design, production, shipping and installation planning.
