Indianapolis Water Lantern Festival

An Evening of Magic & Reflection is a lantern launch event with live music, food, activities, and time for guests to create and personalize their own lanterns.

Guests will check in and receive a lantern kit with all needed materials. They can write a message or intention on their lantern, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy the festival atmosphere before the launch.

At sunset, guests will release their lanterns across the water during a choreographed ceremony set to live music. Professional photos will be taken during the event and made available at no additional cost. The event includes a secured launch area, safety staff, and parking on site.
