10TV, 97.1 The Fan and LifeCare Alliance are asking central Ohioans to help their neighbors stay cool this summer.
The Columbus Zoo Lantern Festival will be held every Thursday through Sunday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. starting Aug. 1.
The Columbus Zoo Lantern Festival is set to illuminate various places of the zoo with over 60 LED lantern displays. Additionally, guests explore and learn about Asian culture with shows featuring acrobats, kung fu demonstrations, puppetry shows or folk music performances. Twenty artists from China are helping to create scenes featuring animals from around the world that will be prominent at the festival.
“This centuries-old craftsmanship takes nearly 30,000 hours to design each shape, and each lantern guests see at the Columbus Zoo is handcrafted by masters from Ziggong, China,” said George Zhao, president of Hanart Culture, the producer of the event. “Through vibrant displays and cultural performances, the Columbus Zoo Lantern Festival celebrates the rich tapestry of Asian cultures, inviting the Central Ohio community and beyond to immerse themselves in a world of light, color, and tradition.
