Southwick's Zoo hosts the Festival of Illumination in partnership with the Zigong Lantern Group, who create the stunning custom and handmade Chinese Lanterns. As we work together to bring an all-new exhibit for 2022, we are very excited about this years' theme, "Once Upon a Time", featuring stories of legends, myths and fairytales. The Zigong Lantern Group's breath-taking displays have been featured world-wide including Dublin Zoo, Edinburgh Zoo, UK's Longleat House, Nashville Zoo, Magnolia Plantation, South Carolina and more.
