The Chinese Lantern Festival has returned for another year at Centennial Olympic Park.

This year's theme is "Into the Wild," with lanterns shaped like different wildlife, including the mouth of a giant shark that visitors can walk through. The festival also includes performances from acrobats, musicians and traditional theater. 

Among this year's new "interactive" attractions is a giant illuminated piano that visitors can play.

There are several merchandise booths available that offer traditional artwork and edible "sugar dragons."

The festival runs through Jan. 5, with $17 admission for adults and $13 for children.
