Thousands of lanterns will illuminate the skies above Lake Pleasant.
Soon after sundown, on Saturday, April 14, friends, family and thousands of strangers will come together to share personal thoughts, wishes and goals as they set free lanterns on the southeastern shores of Lake Pleasant.
A long-standing tradition, the lighting of lanterns (biodegradable) is a way of marking milestones, offering up wishes and goals, while celebrating in a festive, picturesque atmosphere. This event marks the first time that the Phoenix area’s Westside will host a lantern festival and also a first to take place at an Arizona lake, with the 10,000-acre-lake water surface certain to be aglow with thousands of lighted lanterns.
The event runs from 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. (lanterns to be released after sundown) and features live music, food trucks, kids’ events and some of the most amazing views that the greater Phoenix area has to offer.
No coolers are allowed; however, blankets and lawn chairs are welcome. Admission is $25.00, with children ages 3 and under free. Lanterns at the Lake tickets do include entry into Pleasant Harbor. However, attendees must present proof of ticket purchase upon arrival at gate entry.
