Over 1000 floating lanterns will start reflecting upon the water as soon as the sun sets. You can customise your own lanterns with drawings, words, names or anything that means a lot to you. Everyone will watch their unique lantern drift out into the water as it will join other lanterns carrying “hope, love, happiness, healing, peace and connection”. All lanterns will be cleaned up after the event and are 100% eco-friendly made of wood and rice paper.
On site you will be able to enjoy delicious food served by food trucks and dance the night away with amazing music that will be playing all evening. The Water Lantern Festival is also partnering up with charities and non-profit organizations that will receive a portion of the proceeds!
To attend the event, you will have to purchase tickets in advance. Click here for more info about this beautiful festival.
