Oakland Zoo's Glowfari Lantern Festival Opens November 6 for Its Seventh Season
Oakland Zoo (9777 Golf Links Road) in Oakland, Alameda County, California, opens the seventh season of its nighttime lantern festival Glowfari on November 6, running through January 31, 2027, from 4:30 to 9:00 p.m. with timed entry between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.
Hundreds of animal lanterns are all new this year, arranged around five themes — California forests, San Francisco Bay, Montana, the Florida Everglades and Hawaii — each telling how species live in their habitats. The festival is closed on November 9, 10, 16, 17 and 26, December 24 and 25, and select January dates; check the zoo calendar before booking.
Tickets use plan-ahead pricing and are sold online only, released at 9:00 a.m. exactly 28 days before each date; members save 10 percent and parking is included. A new VIP experience package at $150 adds preferred entry and gondola express privileges on Fridays to Sundays from November 20 to January 3. All tickets are nonrefundable.
Tickets are sold on the Oakland Zoo website.
