Lanterns are just as beautiful as what they symbolize – letting go of what no longer serves you and turning a new leaf. At The Lantern Fest, a nationwide event that will be taking place in several Texas cities this year, you can do exactly that. It’s one of the most breathtaking sights you’ll ever see, guaranteed.

Every year, thousands of people gather to cast their sorrows, hopes, and dreams into the sky in the form of glowing lanterns.

Not only will the night come alive with these beautiful lights, but there will also be music, dancing, and homemade s’mores to make it a truly unforgettable experience.

The lanterns are 100% biodegradable, and the festival even has designated “lantern chasers” who drive around and pick them up after the event.
