You Can Still See Kentucky’s Stunning Lantern Festival With A Behind The Scenes Virtual Tour
As major events around the state are cancelled or postponed, many of us are disappointed to miss out on things we’ve been looking forward to for months. One of the most highly anticipated events in Kentucky this year was Wild Lights: Asian Lantern Festival, held at the Louisville Zoo. While the reopening of this event is up in the air, you can still see this stunning lantern festival with a behind the scenes virtual tour in Kentucky, as well as a few photos taken earlier this season.
Wild Lights: Asian Lantern Festival kicked off at the beginning of March at the Louisville Zoo.
It opened after much anticipation and while some did get the chance to visit, we all know that this event has been postponed for the time being.
So much work went into setting up these incredible works of art and they still decorate the pathways and open spaces at the zoo, even with no one there to see them.
As of right now, this is the only behind the scenes video shared by the zoo, but we can hope for more and keep an eye on their Facebook page, linked below.
And we can also look forward to the time when we can go back to the zoo and visit our favorite animals.
The zoo has shared that they are being well taken care of, but there are ways you can help. Check out this page that explains the "Lift Up Lou!" initiative and also provides resources for all of your young animal lovers at home.
Take a look as the Louisville Zoo shows a portion of this beautiful event. If you can’t view it here, be sure to check for the video on the zoo’s Facebook page.
We can hang on to hope that Wild Lights will be extended past its original April 25th end date, but of course we just don’t know at this point. In the meantime, watch this behind the scenes virtual tour in Kentucky, check out the photos, and look forward to visiting the zoo again soon. Were you planning on attending this event? Did you make it there before it had to close? Let us know in the comments!
