Thousands of lanterns, one perfect night, it all happened at the Pennsylvania Nights Lantern Festival 2025.
Thousands of people gathered at the stunning Long Pond lake, Pennsylvania, on September 13, 2025, for the yearly Nights Lantern Festival 2025.
The festival is conceived by the Thailand's Chiang Mai Lantern Festival, who wanted to bring the lantern festival to the United States.
The lanterns' release in the sky signifies the release of negativity and worries.
The festival is more than just a gathering; it’s a chance to celebrate community engagement opportunities for those who’d hardly take time out to meet and share their life experiences.
People under the stunning lantern-lit skies cry, pose, pop the question, and celebrate their happiness together.
Their joyous laughter and joyful squeals as lanterns are carried together in epic waves of love and light.
At this point, the moment the sky was painted with lanterns as they were released, thus creating a dazzling display that is a symbol of the unified hopes and aspirations of the community.
The weather in September marks the transition to fall, with temperatures remaining at 7 degrees in the evening to 21 degrees during the day.
Officially known as Night Lights, The Sky Lantern Festival in Utah is a much-anticipated annual event that defies the ordinary and creates magic filled with love, peace, and a strong sense of community togetherness.
