At the beginning of March, one of the largest Chinese lantern festivals in the nation was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Just days after the Louisville Zoo's Wild Lights Asian Lantern exhibit was complete and ready to open to the public, the zoo was ordered to shutdown. The exhibit was expected to be a big fundraiser for the zoo.However it appears the show is still on, according to a recent post from the Louisville Zoo's Facebook page. Zoo officials say they are working with T-Mobile to salvage the massive event. While they haven't announced when they plan to reopen it, information should be coming soon. According to recent interview with Louisville Zoo director John Walczak, zoo officials were able to get an extension on the exhibit until the end of June.The original event featured more than 2,000 lantern displayed in 65 scenes stationed along at 1.4 mile trail. It also included live Asian performances, Chinese crafts and Asian cuisine.
