More than 30 different, hand-constructed illuminated lantern displays will light up a 3/4 mile path throughout the zoo, its website said.

With a theme of Into the Wild, the lanterns celebrate the art, beauty and wonder of the traditional festival.

Along with the lanterns, guests can enjoy local food and beverage options, live music and authentic artisan crafts, the zoo’s website said.

The festival runs on select dates through Jan. 16 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Admission requires a separate ticket from the zoo as it occurs at night outside of normal zoo operating hours.
