The Lantern Release

After sunset we come together to release our lanterns together, at the same time. Seeing thousands of lanterns right above your head is a magical and spiritual experience that you have to see to fully understand.

The launch typically takes place an hour after sunset and lasts 15-30 minutes.

Please wait to release your lantern!

The lantern launch is something we all do at the same time… It’s much safer and more beautiful this way. :) Please listen for announcements. We promise — you’ll know when to start getting your lanterns ready.

Lighting Your Lantern

Lighting your lantern will take about 5 minutes. You’ll want to get the fuel cell burning and then hold it close to the ground so it fills up with air like a hot air balloon.

What happens to all the lanterns?

Our mission is to leave each venue cleaner than we found it — this means that our team heads out after each event with the mission of collecting every single lantern. We also clean up any trash we find along the way.
