Experience the enchantment of a magical evening at our Water Lantern Festival! Join us as we gather by the water’s edge to celebrate love, hope, and dreams, all illuminated by the gentle glow of floating lanterns.
As the sun begins to set, you’ll be captivated by the serene beauty of the scene. Each participant will receive a beautifully crafted lantern to personalize with their wishes, dreams, or messages of love. Together, we will release these lanterns onto the water, creating a breathtaking display of floating lights that reflect upon the tranquil surface.
Immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance as you watch the lanterns dance upon the water, carrying with them the hopes and aspirations of all who participate. The soft glow and gentle ripples create a serene atmosphere, perfect for reflection and connection.
Our Water Lantern Festival is a celebration of unity, community, and shared experiences. It’s an opportunity to come together with friends, family, and strangers alike, to embrace the magic of the moment and create lasting memories.

Light The Night only uses Premium ECO Friendly Water Lanterns that are designed and manufactured by our company.
Details; Our Water Lanterns are made with Eco Friendly Rice Paper, Wood, and an LED Tea Light instead of real fire.
Clean Up; We have a no lantern left behind policy and use boats and an above water line (like swimming areas use to rope off designated swimming areas) that prevents the lanterns from going any further than predetermined. WE DO NOT USE fishing nets that go down into the water which can tangle up marine life.
Safety; There are no safety risks with Water Lanterns. No fire is used in their release, they’re made of Eco friendly material, and most importantly we collect every single lantern, and we do not use fishing nets or anything that goes down into the water to stop their flow, but instead an above water line.
We track our lanterns with a Mavic 3 Cine Drone so we know none get out of the designated area.
