Weather & Safety
The Policy
Our number 1 priority is holding a safe event that brings the community together to make magical memories. Because Night Lights takes place outdoors, it is a weather dependent event.
Just like you, we don't like rescheduling our events, but it does happen from time to time, due to rain or extreme winds that are out of our hands.
Each of our events is planned and coordinated with multiple local partners, municipalities, and authorities, and we monitor the weather patterns from a weather station closest to our actual venue.
In the event that we need to reschedule an event, we do our best to announce the reschedule via email, SMS, and/or social media within 24 hours of the event. This timeline can change if the weather seems to be moving out of the area and we need to watch it closer. All tickets will be automatically transferred to the new, rescheduled date.
Similar to a sporting event or concert, Night Lights Event has a no refunds policy. This means that if you purchase tickets (and do not add Ticket Protection to your order), in the event of a reschedule, you will qualify for a transfer or future credit, but you will not qualify for a refund.
We understand that it may be inconvenient for you to attend if the event is rescheduled to a new date. We do our best to give you options in this circumstances.

Still have questions? This might help
What kinds of weather events can impact a reschedule?
Because Night Lights takes place at outdoor venues, it is highly dependent on the weather. The weather factors we must consider are:
- Rain
- Lightning Strikes
- Wind
- Burn Bans
What's our process for monitoring weather changes?
We monitor the weather patterns from a weather station closest to our actual venue starting 10 days prior to our scheduled event day.
If the weather looks clear, we'll move forward with the event as planned and will watch for wind, rain, and weather changes daily as we get closer to the event.
Our goal is always to give as much notice as possible if we do plan on postponing an event. We'll update you about any changes to our schedule first through social media and our website, then email, and SMS.

Do you ever cancel an event entirely?
In our 5+ years of running Night Lights Event (over 60 events), we have only cancelled an event three times. A cancellation means that the event cannot be held and there is no makeup date. In the case of a cancellation, we will issue a 100% refund to all customers.
