CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Zoo is making spirits bright this holiday season with one of the Tri-State’s longest running holiday traditions: the 34th Annual PNC Festival of Lights. The event kicks off with a special preview event on Friday, when more than 2.5 million LED lights will illuminate the zoo.

If you liked Festival of Lights last year, they promise this year's will be even better. In fact, the holiday display was recently voted as the No. 1 best zoo light show by USA Today. 

Preview night is only open to zoo members and invited media from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday. The event opens to the public on Saturday. The Festival of Lights will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 5 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through Jan. 1, 2017.
