LanterN Festival
Welcome to the Water Lantern Festival presented by One World. Experience a celebration of happiness, peace, and hope.
It’s a time where we can come together, love one another, and heal ourselves. One World brings individuals from all ages,
backgrounds, and walks of life to join together in one memorable night.
As the sun begins to set in the evening sky, the Water Lantern Festival begins to shine as the lanterns are launched onto
the water. Watch your unique lantern drift on the water as it joins other lanterns carrying hope, love, happiness, healing,
and connection. Reflect on your life, share your dreams, and feel the peace of all those around you as you enjoy the
reflection of the lanterns upon the water.
