Don’t Miss The Luminosa Lantern Festival at Jungle Island

Have you been to Luminosa at @jungleisland? This luminous festival featuring vibrant, giant silk light installations takes place from November 21, 2023, through February 28, 2024, in collaboration with the acclaimed Zigong Lantern Group.

The festival brings over 40 expansive, hand-crafted massive lantern scenes, displaying an explosion of color and light against the park’s lush, tropical backdrop. The displays are intricate and hypnotic, each meticulously created by over 150 artisans, using a staggering 120 tons of steel, 150,000 feet of silk, 43,600 LED bulbs, and 500,000 feet of LED strips.

In the Jungle Animalia section, one can stroll amongst a menagerie of oversized, lifelike flora and fauna. From spectacular parrots, flamingos, and butterflies to a stealthy leopard and elephant, these creatures of light add a fantastical layer to the natural inhabitants of Jungle Island. Definitely something unique worth checking out this winter.

Jungle Island is located at 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, Miami, FL 33132. For more information visit jungleisland.com

About Author

Paola Mendez is a hypnotherapist, published author, and the curious soul behind Coral Gables Love and The Blogger Union. Her journey didn't start in a clinician's office — it started at age 15, battling a mind that used food to quiet a constant internal critic. After two decades at war with her own subconscious, searching for peace as a self-described "introvert in a loud world," Paola found her way out through hypnotherapy. That same journey pushed her out into the city she loves, discovering the gems hiding in plain sight all around Coral Gables. Today, she channels both passions into everything she does: helping people quiet their inner critic through her hypnotherapy practice Pao Hypnosis, sharing those subconscious healing tools through her app Mochi Zen, and showcasing the people, places, and flavors that make South Florida worth savoring — one matcha latte at a time. She is also the author of A Taste of Coral Gables, a cookbook featuring recipes from the city's top chefs. Say hello at info@coralgableslove.com
