The annual holiday illumination event at the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary features decorative displays constructed with numerous light bulbs. This event typically occurs during the weeks leading up to and encompassing the Christmas holiday. As an example, the bear enclosures, primate habitats, and walkways are festooned with lights forming recognizable holiday images and patterns, enhancing the visitor experience during the nighttime hours.
Such an event benefits the local community by providing a festive, family-friendly activity during the holiday season. Revenue generated from ticket sales and associated concessions often contributes to the Zoo Sanctuary’s operating budget, supporting animal care, conservation efforts, and educational programs. Historically, these types of displays have proven popular, drawing significant crowds and bolstering local tourism.
