The 2023 Boston Lights exhibit at Franklin Park Zoo, entitled ‘A Lantern Experience,’ opened on Aug. 4 and will run through Oct. 29 from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Prior to the opening, on Aug. 2, community members from Dorchester and Mattapan were given the first look at this year’s exhibit, which Zoo officials said is their largest and most expansive to date. Here, Dorchester’s Khoshi Husain Khil looks up at a glowing jellyfish while other sea creatures maneuver in the background. The exhibit has themes of crystals, wolves, dragons, and even an Egyptian wing. Seth Daniel photo
