Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival

On Sunday we attended the Japanese Lantern Lighting Festival at the Como Zoo Conservatory.

Despite the heavy rain, we were delighted to attend. There was a decent sized crowd there to see the various performer and demonstrations. Everything from Drum Circles, Dancers, Martial Arts Demos, and lots and lots of tasty food. The highlight was the Lantern Lighting at dusk. It was like watching the mellowest fireworks of all time. Awe-inspiring in a super low-key way.

We definitely hope to make this an annual event!
