ZOOMINESCENCE

DECEMBER 2026 

Light is Energizing. Light is Revitalizing. In a big city, light is life. What better way to celebrate light than after dark at the Edmonton Valley Zoo?

This coming December, Zoominescence, hosted by the Valley Zoo Development Society, will stage a spectacular exhibition of artistic light installations within the unique setting of the Edmonton Valley Zoo. Our vision is to celebrate light, artistry, imagination and the strong spirit of our community in the winter. Join us for an evening of light, animals, hot chocolate, and fun for the whole family!
