We're positively glowing over the festive fact that some of Southern California's sparkliest celebrations, the nighttime affairs that brim with incandescent enchantment, are just a few whimsical weeks away.
One of the largest and light-iest of the merry bunch is "LA Zoo Lights: Animals Aglow," an illuminated experience that offers dazzling nature-inspired displays, pretty picture spots, and opportunities to sip tummy-warming drinks while you stroll the destination by the light of the moon (something of a rarity).
The bundle-up fun returns in mid-November for a multi-week engagement. And while most of the nights will offer oodles of "Aglow"-style enticements, there are some special nights, and themed offerings, coming up over the 2024-2025 season.
