Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with joy, hope, and meaningful moments at beautiful Lake Mendocino. This family-friendly celebration is open to all — friends, neighbors, and even strangers who quickly become part of the shared experience.
As the sun sets, watch the lake come to life with hundreds of glowing lanterns, each carrying a personal message, a dream, or a memory. It’s a peaceful, heartwarming event where community and connection shine brightest.
Whether you’ve heard them called floating lanterns, light festivals, or water fests — nothing compares to the wonder of our very own Lake Mendocino Festival of Light.
Light up the water with your own lantern, make a memory, and be part of something truly magical.
Lanterns can be decorated onsite prior to a dusk launch onto the lake. Please contact us, if you would like to make arrangements to pick up your lantern ahead of time.
One lantern FREE per person (children included) / Additional lanterns $5.00 each
This event will be held outdoors. Please dress accordingly and wear appropriate footwear. 
We ask that children be accompanied.
NOTE: The lanterns will be carefully monitored and gathered from the lake
 about an hour after launch. They will not be left unattended and floating.We are adding features for purchase as food and beverages (non-alcoholic).
We are looking forward to a memorable evening of community, connection, and illumination.
