The Erie Zoo is bringing back Glow Wild, with classic displays of glowing lanterns and cultural performances on summer weekends.

Preparations have begun, and the lanterns are going up. Every Thursday through Sunday, starting April 30 at 6 p.m., the zoo will “glow wild” once again.

The Chinese lantern festival is a cultural art installation, representing animals from the zoo, that lights up the night.

Tickets can be purchased in advance, with early bird pricing available until April 29.
