CLEVELAND — It's back!
The Asian Lantern Festival has returned to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on select nights from now until Aug. 27.
“This year’s event promises all new highlights featuring Instagrammable moments and large-scale displays, including a nearly 40-foot-tall giant lantern, walk-through tunnels and a 150-foot-long Enchanted Garden Experience presented by CrossCountry Mortgage immersing guests in larger-than-life displays featuring butterflies, flowers and insects,” Cleveland Zoo officials said.
This year’s festival will also feature live acrobatic performances every hour on the Fifth Third Bank Stage with a variety of culturally inspired cuisine at the MetroHealth Asian Food Market.
3News' Austin Love was at the zoo early Friday morning for a special sneak peek inside this year's event, which you can watch in the videos below...
