Our Commitment to the Environment
At the Water Lantern Festival, our mission is to leave every venue more beautiful than we found it. Guided by our "leave no trace" philosophy, we retrieve every single lantern at the end of the event and thoroughly clean the body of water to remove any pre-existing litter. Our lanterns are 100% sustainable: crafted from biodegradable rice paper with a wooden base, they use LED candles that are collected and recycled to minimize environmental impact.

Help us protect nature! To make this event truly sustainable, we need your support too:

  • Use the recycling stations for your personal trash
  • Make sure not to leave any litter behind in the green areas or near the water
