Ready to light up Echo Park Lake with thousands of water & sky
lanterns? Join us in celebrating life, hope, & dreams with family &
friends at the Lotus Festival! Share a memorable and meaningful
evening with your family and friends at the Lights of Dreams Lantern
Event! Come decorate your own unique lantern and launch it among the
thousands of water and sky lanterns at Echo Park Lake. Illuminated
water lanterns symbolize our hope for a brighter future, appreciation
for our loved ones, and memories of those who passed away; while
lotuses represent rebirth, purity and life. In contrast, sky lanterns
are released into the sky with written wishes. The higher the lanterns
rise, the more likely the wishes will come true. Through our event, we
hope to create an incredible experience that brings families and
friends together to celebrate the meaning of life and spread hope,
peace and dreams. This event is featured on both Saturday July 11th
and Sunday July 12th. Attendees who pre-register on Eventbrite can
directly pick up their lantern kit at our booth (located between the
Dragon Boat Races and the Main Stage). Each lantern kit includes one
lantern (i.e. water floating paper lantern or sky lantern), lotus
lamp, wristband to access the lantern launching site, and markers for
decoration. The lotus lamp is a decorative tabletop lamp that is
special and unique to LA Lotus Festival and can be taken home as a
souvenir. At dusk, the lakeside launching ceremony will commence.
Thousands of water lanterns and sky lanterns will be released into
Echo Park Lake, creating an illuminating array of beauty and
inspiration. After the event, all lanterns will be cleaned up and
recycled to restore our peaceful and serene lake. Proceeds from this
event will be donated to non-profit organizations, such as Los Angeles
Lotus Festival Inc., that promote the arts and cultures of Asian
Pacific Islanders.
