New performance location
We have a new performance location, a nice stage at Safari Plaza. This is about halfway through the lantern course, and there are food concessions nearby. So you can get yourself a snack and have a seat at the tables in the courtyard for our shows.
When you buy a timed ticket, be sure to give yourself time to get to the stage.
