Our Commitment to the Environment
At the Water Lantern Festival, our mission is to leave every venue more beautiful than we found it. Following the "leave no trace" philosophy, we retrieve every lantern at the end of the event and thoroughly clean the water to remove any pre-existing litter. Our lanterns are 100% sustainable: made 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:

  • Use the recycling stations for your personal waste
  • Ensure you do not leave any residues in the green areas or near the water
