Lanterns are Lighting up the Zoo!
Reid Park Zoo is partnering with Tianyu Arts & Culture Inc., UA Global, and the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center to bring you another fabulous year of more than 400 colorful, interactive, customized lanterns to Southern Arizona. This event will transport you across the world with Asian-inspired entertainment, cuisine, and culture. You may even get lost in magical worlds as you dive deep into the sea, then emerge to walk among the dinosaurs and finally stumble into the wild plains of Africa! The Asian Lantern Festival is not one to be missed, and you will have plenty of time to soak in this larger than life cultural festival. Even if you came to this illuminating event last year, you won’t want to miss it! 80% of the lanterns will be all new to the Zoo, meaning there will be many new lantern lands to explore!
THURSDAY – SUNDAY: FEBRUARY 13 – MARCH 1 — 6-9 P.M.
