2025 Water Lantern Festival - Image of lanterns on lakeThere’s still time to get Early Bird ticket prices for the 2025 Water Lantern Festival at Almaden Lake Park July 18-20, 2025. This is a very popular event, so get your tickets now! Along with entry to the festival, each adult and youth ticket comes with a floating lantern kit, commemorative drawstring bag, and more.

Gates open at 5:30, when you and your family can enjoy food trucks, music and fun! At 8:00 you’ll design your lantern, and then from 8:30 – 10:00 is the Lantern Launch, where you’ll witness the beauty of thousands of lanterns and their lights reflecting upon the water.

Water Lantern Festival is committed to sustainability. The price covers the cost of collecting and removing the lanterns from the water following the event as well as cleaning up any trash that may have previously been in or around the water. The lanterns are made from rice paper and wood, so they are as eco-friendly as possible, and they reuse and recycle the LED candles.

Additionally, Water Lantern Festival is partnered with Water.org, an organization dedicated to providing safe water to millions of people around the world.

Learn more about this awe-inspiring event and get tickets on the Water Lantern Festival website.
