Chiang Mai Sky Lanterns Festival 2025

Chiang Mai Sky Lanterns Festival 2025 tickets give access to one of Thailand's most visually striking annual events, held in Chiang Mai each November to coincide with the Yi Peng lunar festival. Participants release paper lanterns, known as khom loi, into the night sky as part of a Buddhist tradition marking the end of the rainy season and the floating away of misfortune.

Attendees light and release their own lanterns at a designated outdoor gathering, typically accompanied by cultural performances and ceremonial elements. Tickets generally cover lantern materials, entry to the event grounds, and access to the main release. For more events across the city, see things to do in Chiang Mai.
