Get ready for a magical night where love, romance, and tradition come to life beneath a sky full of glowing lanterns. Here’s what’s in store for you:
✔ Be Surrounded by Thousands of Floating Lanterns. You’ll release your own lantern alongside thousands of others — all lifting off together to create an unforgettable glowing sky. It’s a stunning sight, perfect for photos and simply soaking in the magic. The fireworks show adds even more wow factor.

✔ Make and Float Your Own Water Lantern. Try your hand at crafting a small water lantern and set it afloat on the river. It’s a quiet, beautiful ritual to enjoy amid the festival’s glowing lights.

✔ Watch Traditional Lanna Dance and Crafts. Local villagers perform lively Lanna dances, and you can explore craft displays featuring sword dancing, weaving, and wood carving. It’s a chance to see real Thai culture up close, full of stories and colors.

✔ Delight Your Senses with Authentic Thai Flavors. From spicy snacks to sweet treats, you’ll find plenty of delicious food stalls offering classic Northern Thai flavors — perfect for grabbing a bite while you enjoy the festival vibe.

✔ Embrace the Peace of Sacred Ceremonies. As night falls, monks chant softly while candlelight flickers around you. It’s a calm, spiritual part of the festival that offers a peaceful break from the excitement.

That said, there are subtle differences:
The event takes place at the CAD Cultural Center Lanna, about 45 minutes from Chiang Mai Old Town. Your ticket includes round-trip transfer, with the meeting point. We recommend arriving early, around 1–2 PM, to avoid crowds.
Yes! The lanterns are made from biodegradable materials like recycled paper and bamboo. They meet local government standards and are designed to avoid fire hazards.
