While they're called many things such as lantern festivals, lights festivals, floating lanterns, water fest, or Chinese lanterns - only Water Lantern Festival allows you to Light The Water in a way you'll never forget.
The Water Lantern Festival is filled with fun, happiness, hope and great memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. This is a family-friendly event that can be shared by everyone. You can experience the magic of thousands of lanterns as the soft lights reflect upon the water.
Gates open at 4 pm. Until 9 pm you can enjoy food trucks, music and fun. At 6:30 pm, take a break to design your lantern, which will then be launched between 7 and 9 pm.
