Good to Know
Children under 8 get in free; ages 8 and up need a ticket. Bring a blanket or lawn chair, sunscreen or bug spray, and weather-appropriate clothes. The event is rain or shine, and lanterns are biodegradable, use LED candles (no open flames), and are 100% collected after the launch.

Every ticket includes a lantern kit, an LED candle, and markers so you can write your hopes, dreams, or a tribute to a loved one on your lantern. Then, as the sun goes down, join more than 2,000 people in a choreographed launch set to live music and watch your message drift across the water.
