Luminosa! Festival of Lights
South Florida’s popular eco-adventure attraction reinvents an ancient Buddhist tradition with a Magical Luminosa! Festival of Lights. We are excited to have partnered up with Zigong Lantern Group, the leaders in Chinese Lantern Festivals worldwide to bring this to life. Luminosa will take guests on a memorable journey through light across 13 of the park’s 18 acres. The journey tells a magical story of the jungle, which begins with an exploration of wildlife, birds, bloom and the beautiful Biscayne Bay. It then writes a chapter into the future through a story of transformation, rooted in adventure and infused with Miami’s new vibrant urban art identity.
All lanterns will be illuminated by environmentally friendly LED lights and are made from silk! The Chinese Lantern Festival is believed to date back 2000 years ago to the Eastern Han Dynasty when Buddhist monks would light lanterns in the temples. Traditionally, the Lantern Festival marks the end of the Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival. The lanterns are thought to symbolize people letting go of their pasts and celebrating a new future, much like Jungle Island.
The estimated time to stroll through the outdoor exhibit from start to finish will be approximately two hours, for guests who take the time to truly experience and capture the splendor of this festival of lights.
