Join us as the Peoria Zoo transforms into a dazzling wonderland as the Glow Wild Lantern Festival lights up the night with vibrant colors, cultural artistry, and unforgettable family experiences. This spectacular event will run from March 1 through April 30, offering guests a luminescent journey filled with handmade, traditional Chinese lanterns, interactive activities, and live entertainment.
Featuring the stunning work of Chief Artist Yu Wang, a Sichuan native whose family has deep roots in traditional Chinese lantern craftsmanship, Glow Wild combines centuries-old artistry with modern LED technology. Each lantern tells a unique story, blending Chinese legends, lore, and the beauty of nature.
