LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The popular Wild Lights event is back at the Louisville Zoo.
WDRB's Keith Kaiser got a look at this illuminating event.
This year’s festival debuts a new collection of handcrafted Chinese lantern displays. The experience blends centuries-old artistry with imaginative design to create an unforgettable nighttime adventure.
Journey through four immersive themed realms: Magical Forest, Magical Ocean, Pre-Historic Animals, and Wondrous Asia.
The larger-than-life sculptures feature vibrant color and intricate cultural craftsmanship. Nearly every display you encounter in 2026 is brand new.
