Austin Lighthouse Water Lantern Festival

Lighthouse Water Lantern Festival is a magical experience, for everyone. The last few years has shown us nothing is guaranteed. If you look out at the ocean and just watch the waves rolling in and out, your worries can melt away. The past has gone and is unchangeable, no matter how much we may want to, and the future is yet to be written and totally uncertain. The here and now is what matters. The same is for other bodies of water, the grounding energy and beauty in nature gives you pause to reflect, and release negative energy.

 

Lighthouse is a time to symbolically say goodbye to your old life, hello to tomorrow, and to bring a guiding light to a lost loved one, to show them they can rest now and celebrate the time you had with them.

 

Unlike other festivals, our lanterns are already made for you, markers are not needed as you don’t write on our lanterns. The magic in letting go of the past, and lighting the way for lost souls doesn’t come with written words on paper, it comes from the heart, your energy put into it. our lanterns are also designed so that you can take it home after the event and keep forever.

 

At sunset we’ll begin Illuminating the water as a collective and release our lanterns into the water for passed loved ones for safe passage to their new journey, , and send out our hopes, dreams, love and light to the universe to begin creating the future we want as we move forward. Come Illuminate the water with us, and help light the way.
