In short About Water Lantern Festival
Belo Horizonte, it's your turn! The Water Lantern Festival comes to Parque Ecológico da Pampulha for a night of reflection, joy and glowing lanterns on the water. Gather the people you love, personalize your lantern with wishes, tributes or dreams and watch the soft lights reflect across the water.
Whether you're honoring the past, celebrating the present or dreaming about the future, the Water Lantern Festival offers a magical setting to create unforgettable memories. Come with friends, with family or even on your own. One thing is certain: you'll leave with a full heart and a renewed soul.
The lanterns are made of rice paper or tissue paper and use small, low-power LED lights (between 0.1 W and 0.5 W). All materials are collected by the organizers at the end of the event.
