Water Lantern Festival Returns To Las Vegas In 2025

The annual Water Lantern Festival is returning to Las Vegas for one incredible night. Sometimes known as light festivals, Chinese Lanterns or water fests, the event invites the entire public to come. To celebrate, to remember, or just to see the brilliance of thousands of lanterns light up the water below.

People from all over come to the annual Water Lantern Festival. For some, it is a therapeutic experience that provides space and serenity for emotional healing and rejuvenation. For others, watching their lantern drift away in the water gives them a moment of personal reflection and deeper self-connection. Some use the event to inspire new goals or plan for the future. And others use it to remember loved ones past.
