Lantern Park is an event resort, Music Festival and the largest desert sky lantern festival in the world. Lantern Park is home to Craig Raceway, a dirt track, with races starting summer 2026. When we’re not holding Lantern releases or races, we host large festivals, and other sports type events.
The past is a story already told. The future is a blank page waiting for ink. But this moment—this here and now—is where we truly live.
Lantern Park is a sanctuary in time: a chance to release what was, quiet the noise of the everyday, and step gently away from the world’s chaos, all while kindling hope for what may come.
The real magic begins within. When we let go with intention and dream with an open heart, the energy we offer transforms into light. And that light—carried by flame and wind—becomes its own kind of beauty, its own quiet magic.
Last year was absolutely amazing! Not only was the lantern release the most beautiful thing, but the festival design was like no other. Will definitely attend in 2023.
Lantern Park has a very strict lantern safety and cleanup policy. Details listed below

Clean Up; We have a “No Lantern Left Behind Policy”, we have our cleanup team stationed out in the landing zone ready to collect every lantern as they begin to descend.
We track our lanterns flight with 4 Mavic 3T Enterprise Drones, so we know exactly where every lantern flies and lands. We hold a trial run before the event date to test and determine where the lanterns will land. More Information found here
Yes! Everyone attending needs either an adult or kids pass to enter the festival grounds. We do not have spectator passes, however, in the future we will have virtual passes to watch our live stream.
Yes! Our first priority is to hold a safe event for all attendees, which could mean postponing the event to a later date during a storm, or excessively high wind speed. If a postponement required, we will hold the release at the next soonest date available. Your passes will automatically transfer to the next date. With being a black rock desert, we don't see needing a possible reschedule for the event.
Yes! We have a no lantern left behind policy and also track our lanterns flight with drones. All sky lanterns are collected and then recycled and used in other projects.
