Festival Lanterns, former sculpture group in Old Town Chinatown, Portland, Oregon, USA

Festival Lanterns was a 2006 outdoor installation of granite and steel sculptures by American artist Brian Goldbloom, placed between Northwest 3rd and 4th Avenues at Davis and Flanders Streets in Portland's Old Town Chinatown. Each lantern measured 6 by 5 by 5 feet (1.8 by 1.5 by 1.5 m), identical in form and placement but carved with distinct designs. The sculptures were removed in 2025.

The sculptures were installed in 2006 as part of a public art project celebrating Portland's neighborhood histories and cultures. In 2025, community leaders decided to remove them after determining that carvings with certain Asian features were offensive to some groups.

The lanterns were carved with motifs tied to a shared cultural identity, a moment in time, or the earlier uses of nearby buildings. The southern one at 3rd and Davis recalled artifacts of Japantown, which occupied that site until the 1942 internment of Japanese Americans. The Regional Arts & Culture Council described each lantern as a conceptual source of light radiating energy into the community. All were removed in 2025 after community leaders called the Chinese-style structures culturally offensive.

The four lanterns stood at two intersections: Northwest 3rd Avenue at Davis Street and at Flanders Street, in Portland's Old Town Chinatown. They were removed in 2025, so nothing of the installation remains on site; the paved corners and the metal column beside the former southern lantern can still be seen.

One sculpture specifically commemorated the historic Japantown that once stood on that site before residents were displaced during World War II. Another piece depicted the story of Portland's rail system development, marking an important chapter in the city's transportation history.
