Asian Lantern Festival

The Asian Lantern Festival at the Sanford, FL Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is a stunning event showcasing the beauty and culture of traditional Asian lantern-making.

The festival typically features hundreds of hand-crafted lanterns often depicting animals, nature scenes, mythical creatures, and cultural symbols.  The lanterns made from silk, paper, and other materials create a magical night-time experience.  Illuminated from within, they become vibrant, glowing sculptures.  The festival offers a glimpse into the rich history of Asian culture such as traditional dance, music, martial arts demonstrations and the significance of lantern festivals in diverse Asian cultures.

Assorted food vendors offer a range of Asian-inspired cusine and other treats.  Walking through the lantern-lit pathways under the stars creates a magical and serene atmosphere.  The festival is an awesome display of color, light, texture, movement, and even sound.

We will stop at all three pickup locations: Ocala, Inverness and Wildwood, for this and all one-day tours.

3% processing fee applies to all credit card transactions.
