Friends, families, neighbors and lots of people that you haven’t met can come together to create a peaceful, memorable experience.

While they’re called many things, such as lantern festivals, lights festivals, floating lanterns, water fest or Chinese lanterns — only the Water Lantern Festival allows you to light the water in a way you’ll never forget. Now you can experience the magic of thousands of lanterns as the soft lights reflect upon the water of Kiwanis Lake in Tempe.
