Turtle Bay's Glowing Wild Lantern Festival transforms 10 acres of botanical gardens into a breathtaking world of light, music and interactive displays at the Sundial Bridge & Turtle Bay in Redding, CA. Open select nights May 1 - June 28, 7pm-10pm, best at night! Guests walk through winding garden paths surrounded by larger-than-life lantern displays inspired by plants and animals from around the globe, including glowing dinosaurs and ancient Egyptian icons. Along the way, enjoy food, drinks, and unique souvenirs as you take in the experience at your own pace.
