IllumiNights will be the only location in Atlanta where the cider, which is infused with cranberry and holiday spices, will be available on tap. As a holiday highlight for ages 21 and up, IllumiNights patrons will also have a chance to try Airing of Grievances, a limited-release offering from Marietta-based Treehorn Cider. Select gift shops and food and beverage locations will be open for purchase of festival-inspired items. An interactive jump-pad of lights will be on in the KIDZone, and the Endangered Species Carousel will be open for rides. In addition to the lantern experience, other amenities will also be available to IllumiNights guests. The lanterns are truly works of art, and importantly, they are breathtaking representations of the splendors of the wildlife and wild places that Zoo Atlanta’s mission dedicates us to preserving.” It’s an outdoor family outing, it’s an evening with friends, it’s a one-of-a-kind date night – there’s something for everyone. “We believe this event will have a universal appeal. IllumiNights is a magical walk through the Zoo as no one has ever seen it before,” said Raymond B. “We could not be more thrilled to introduce this experience to our community this holiday season. In keeping with Zoo Atlanta’s commitment to sustainability, each lantern also features environmentally-friendly LED lights. Each lantern is made and hand-painted by artisans, representing thousands of hours of work. Highlights include a 100-foot-long Chinese dragon and a 23-foot-tall jellyfish. Located in vignettes throughout Zoo grounds, more than 80 lanterns represent a host of creatures from the wild (and in one case, legendary) world, with flora and fauna including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, invertebrates, and plants – some life-sized, and some larger-than-life. After dark, guests will explore the Zoo, transformed – full of awe-inspiring vistas celebrating the inspirations of nature. Zoo Atlanta has partnered with Hanart Culture to bring the lantern festival to Atlanta. IllumiNights is presented by Georgia Power, with additional support from Beacon Sponsor PNC. IllumiNights at the Zoo: A Chinese Lantern Festival opens to the public on the evening of Monday, November 22, 2021. Atlanta’s newest seasonal experience will make its debut with a stunning visual celebration of the wonders of the natural world.
