During a recent holiday trip to visit family in Nashville, I had the chance to go to the Nashville Zoo's Zoolumination: Chinese Festival of Lights.
This massive lantern event spans more than sixty acres and features more than 500 custom-designed lanterns, along with a life-size North Pole holiday village, acrobats from Zigong, China, and artists who practice traditional Chinese crafts.
Here are just of few of the incredible exhibits on display. Some of the lanterns are as tall as a four-story building. The dragon is nearly the length of a football field.
The festival runs through February 2nd. If you’re within a drive of Nashville, you won’t want to miss this extraordinarily breathtaking event.
