What's this event about?

The founder of our event was first inspired by the traditional lantern festival in Chiang Mai when he was living in Thailand, and he wanted to bring this community-driven experience to the United States.

Alongside local lantern launches, we support local businesses by hiring small food trucks and entertainers, and we feature musical talent because nothing brings people together like a show!

What do the lanterns symbolize?

n the Thai tradition, the release of sky lanterns is said to be symbolic of releasing negativity and worries. It is considered good luck and a sign of renewal.

At Night Lights, we find that the intention and emotion behind each participant's lantern is an intimate decision. Each lantern's meaning is unique and equally important, which is why we include a marker so each participant can make their lantern their own.

Why do people attend Night Lights?

Thousands of Night Lighters write their stories on the spines of our sky lanterns and create memories that will last a lifetime, whether it be an engagement, a family milestone, or the remembrance of a loss.

What inspired Night Lights?

The founder of our event was first inspired by the traditional lantern festival in Chiang Mai when he was living in Thailand. The Chiang Mai festival is an ancient tradition that has inspired millions across the globe.
