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.

    What do the lanterns symbolize?

    In 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.You’ll see people cry, pose, pop the question, and celebrate under the lantern-lit skies. You’ll hear joyous laughter and squeals of glee as lanterns are carried together in epic waves of love and light. This is a community event for everyone.

    What inspired Night Lights?

    "The founder of our event was first inspired by the traditional lantern festival in Chiang Mai while living in Thailand. The Chiang Mai festival is an ancient tradition that has inspired millions around the world. Traveling to one of these festivals can be extremely expensive and isn’t accessible to everyone. That’s why our founder created Night Lights—a unique take on this spiritual custom that invites everyone to share in and enjoy its magic.
