The Grand Rapids Lantern Festival at John Ball Zoo is a breathtaking experience of light and wonder: a one-mile tour along a path illuminated by handcrafted Asian lantern displays that tell the intersecting story of wildlife and Asian culture. This is the only place you can see these incredible works of art in Michigan.
This is the third year the Zoo is hosting the Lantern Festival. Even if you’ve seen it before, you need to come again – because this year’s event features new lanterns and interactive events!
