ZooLights Express to hit the road in DC this month

ZooLights is now coming-to-you-lights.

The National Zoo’s beloved lights will be on tour throughout the District in the form of a 24-foot ZooLights Express truck, powered by Pepco, the Smithsonian institution said Tuesday.

“Usually held onsite at the Zoo for the past 13 years, ZooLights has been reimagined into ZooLights Express, a distanced and safe way to bring joy and bit of holiday sparkle to D.C. residents,” the Smithsonian wrote in a release.

The truck will be decorated with light displays, featuring “Panda Claws,” and visit one ward each Friday and Saturday, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., starting Nov. 27.
