There is a traditional event in Phoenix, Arizona, USA each year called Zoolights. Each year since 1992, the Phoenix Zoo is decorated with about 4,000,000 lights to welcome nighttime visitors in December and January.
Glowing orbs and ‘Zoolights’ written in LED string lights greet Zoo visitors at the entrance lake
Workers spend about 4 months preparing the Zoo for the event. Elaborate light shows are put on, sculptures of lights are built in the shape of animals, and you may even catch a look at some of the nocturnal animals roaming around (couldn’t get a picture, too dark 
).

This was the first year that I saw the animal “lanterns” in the park; hand-painted fabric and metal sculptures of many different animals, all lit from the inside.

The kids were most excited - me, too - about the 200ft tunnel of lights that changed colors and danced brightly as people moved through it.
Lights change color and chase back and forth through the entire tunnel
The big feature was a musical light show over the Zoo’s lake. It features a massive floating tree with synchronized LED lights and floating structures that could use the lights to replicate everything from fireworks to nutcrackers.
Should you find yourself in Phoenix during December and early January, a trip to Zoolights is a great way to spend an evening like a local. I’ll leave a few more images from my trip. Thanks for reading!
