Los Angeles Water Lantern Festival
- see all dates
This community event encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to come together for a night of love, reflection, and laughter. As the sun sets, guests release their personalized lanterns onto the water and watch as they illuminate the night.
Other fun includes local food trucks, vendors, live music, and a scavenger hunt.
Each paid ticket provides entry into the festival area and comes with a lantern kit, commemorative drawstring bag, and entry into the scavenger hunt giveaway. The Lantern Festival is open to all ages and is a family-friendly event. Children ages 8 and under are admitted free and do not require a ticket; however, they do not receive a lantern.
Early bird pricing is available. The event is rain or shine; in the event of unsafe weather conditions, the festival may be postponed.
