It's beyond ridiculous we have to post such again.

SCAM ALERT, we were contacted about buying tickets to our North Carolina FRIDAY date since Saturday is sold out on both our sky lantern festival websites, but they didn't see Friday on ours. We do NOT have a Friday date, and we will never partner with nor sell to the lds church or their followers. Our date has been set for a long time but theirs is new and obviously a scam so please remember that you're not buying entry to our event through them.

We're moving forward with bringing a federal lawsuit against the lds church for violating anti trust violations to try to hold a monopoly on numerous different types of events. If you didn't already know, the other lantern festivals owners has to give them part of their revenue from their events. So all the times they've scammed people out of money part of your money is going to the utah lds church's pockets. Their events are also used as political campaigning for trump and not disclosing such information. Your money is going towards his campaign when you attend an event and it's not being disclosed.

is doing the same with all their events this year after a democrat was elected as governor. They're not masking our dates their year.

None of that will be at our events, it's a time to drowned out all that. Our revenue will not go towards anything of the such either.

Starting tonight, LOA is following suit of other large festivals and switching over to packages only, instead of individual tickets. We've been testing them already, and they're the choice of most attendees. Starting tonight, you can choose between the following packages.

1) 2 GA admission tickets and 1 parking pass
2) 4 GA admission tickets and 1 parking pass
3) 2 GA admission tickets, fire pit, and 1 parking pass.
4) 4 GA admission tickets, fire pit, and 1 parking pass.
5) 2 STLL admission tickets and 1 parking pass
6) 4 STLL admission tickets and 1 parking pass
7) 2 STLL admission tickets, fire pit, and 1 parking pass
8) 4 STLL admission tickets, fire pit, and 1 parking pass

There are no more kids passes

Kids 10 and under are free. Over 10 counts towards a regular ticket.

GA = General Admission
STLL = Skip The Long Line

A reminder to all that our preregistration form must be completed to attend!

It must contain real names and your real home address for two reasons.

1) Part of our security rules is all information must be provided and must be current and correct. With violence happening at all types of events and everywhere, information must be provided incase you're involved in a crime.

2) You will not receive your check-in packets in the mail if the form isn't completed and fully completed. Packets will include the only way you can check in and it's the only way you will receive the location, directions, and parking information and instructions to activate your entry. None of that information will be given out online.

Failure to fully complete the form is a guarantee you will miss the event until the next one you follow event rules for.

Unlike our competitors we do actually make sure each person has valid entry, and a valid ID that matches.

All local sales are good as all had to be completed at the same time of purchase, and the majority of all online orders are good to go. However, there are a few that still need to purchase parking and complete the preregistration form. Cut off for June events to complete all is this weekend so you will receive your packet in the mail.

Two years ago we had a major problem with individuals printing out and giving out multiple tickets to cause chaos at the event, and two employees of etix were scalping our tickets themselves. To prevent that from happening, the digital tickets you instantly received from the current ticketing partner are not how you will check-in. We've adapted larger events system where you will receive your actual check-in packets via physical mail where you will have to sign you received it, and then follow the instructions within it to activate and fully register.

Parking passes are also a must be purchased not an option, as they also get activated along with your admission. If you didn't purchase parking you won't receive your check-in packet. We don't allow drop offs and events are not walking accessible from any parking away from the venues.

We have a parking system in place so there wont be any backups or delays arriving or leaving. Our parking team is the first check-in you will come to, so you must have your parking ticket with you.To receive your parking you must have fully completed the prereservation form.

If you've not completed preregistration or purchased your parking pass please do so before this weekend.

If you need help please use our website chat feature for help.

🤦‍♀️.

I almost don't have words for this.

While our competitors have to hire third-party technology companies to manage, design, etc their websites, emails, etc, LOA doesn't. LOA's founder handles all herself. These fake messages are a waste of your time, but do give all of us a good laugh when we see them.

When thinking of our founder, our competitors need to remember that she's not part of their "church", she's not limited to selling lularoe smelly leggins. These fake emails does help show why they can't organize a decent event, and why they should probably find a qualified third-party to organize their events along with their email management, etc. Put the long time it takes you to think of these that waste your time, and put that time into learning how to not organize crappy events, follow laws, etc where you'll be to busy being successful instead of crying like a baby while making these idiotic fake emails. Then again these are extremely hysterical to us to read so...

Welcome dark age cult of unintelligent males to the world of women in technology. 😁.

Our competitors are at it again pretending to be employees of ours and have again stolen our photos and placed them on their profile.

None of our employees have anything sky lanterns related on their profiles, we do not sell our lanterns to the public, and you will never be contacted by an employee through social media, we don't do business that way. We've reported their fake account and copyright infringement to have our photos removed.

Please remember to never give out any personal information to anyone on social media. We still do not offer email assistance through any social media except our own social media network website and only for current and past attendees. We will never contact you through Facebook, instagram, etc.

We're guessing they scammed a lot of people again as that's always when they do this crap.

Also you CANNOT but tickets of ours through any employee nor off any social media website so we know which competitor it is because apparently they do. Projection nonsense gives them away every time 🤦‍♀️. Social media profiles isn't one of our new ways to sell tickets.

We have a meeting coming up with specific gov officials to put a stop to their anti trust violations and right out fraud and theft with fake ticket sales to our events.

New Brunswick New Jersey, we're coming your way this year, September 21st, 2024. Tickets are now on sale with a pre-sale discount of 10% off for one week, so grab them while you can before they move up to regular price.

We've had many that missed out on getting tickets before they sold out, and have emailed asking how can they get tickets. Our Fan2Fan Exchange is still a thing this year and we've added a link to sign up to be notified if anyone can't make the event, and looking to sell. You can find the links on the event pages that are marked sold out.

The sign up link is right under the ticket prices.

Please remember that you can only buy another attendees tickets through our fan2fan.

This is one reason they're banned from our events. We know they use their own to recruit and are also technically political events to sway the vote to the cults choice of president and other government positions.

We do not preach religion on our attendees and we will not put up with them trying to use our events to do such, nor push it on our employees.

Freedom Of and Freedom From religion, were put in for a reason. You're welcome to believe and follow as you wish (not at our events though), and the rest of the world is free to not have religion or another religion pushed down their throats.

It's not discrimination to to prevent someone from pushing their religion onto you, your event, and your attendees, but it is to try to push your religion on those who do not want it pushed on them.

We allowed a few of their followers into one of our events, one started chaos before the event even started where police had to remove them, another began harassing our talent and got mad and left because everyone just ignored them and continued on. Others tried preaching cult to others and got mad and left when people told them to leave them alone, and informed us.

We will not apologize for banning them and protecting our events and attendees from their harassment.

We will be soon switching over to our completely new website on a new unique domain that will have its own social media network attached to it. You'll be able to find photos and videos, and more from festivals and even be able to watch lantern releases live. Major upgrade from the current website and social networking. We're also partnering with multiple other festivals and events that will be listed on our website. More details on that will be posted on the new website.

We will no longer be posting on facebook at all once the switch is made and all updates, sales, etc will be posted on there. We'll also be moving away from instragram as well.

Real quickly, the new website will have a vendor sign up, and area where your information can be listed for other events to locate you. Same goes for talent.

Our online schedule is now up, and tickets are on sale. Get 20% off for the next week only. We have a limited number of tickets alloted for our online sales, so if you want them, grab them. Local sales have also started for all events, which sell out rather quickly. Like last year, if you don't see a location near you on our schedule, watch locally. You can also reach out to us to inquire and sign up to be notified. All events this year will donate a portion of our revenue to house the homeless Americans living on the street. Every event this year will also have at least one activity to promote a new event type, and we have totally shaken up lantern festivals by being 100% new and authentic in organization, activities, talent, etc.

Our website has changed a little for now. It will completely change here soon, and so will the url. We've made some awesome partnerships over the winter break, and we're looking forward to this year. You'll notice a unique part of our website, which goes along with our 2024 theme. Only you hold the pen to your future, and many have forgotten that. Life has stifled many creative people, and we want to help reignite it.

Last year, we taught many of you how to release lanterns the correct way, and we hope to carry that on for many new people this year.

Unused passes will still be accepted as long as you follow the rules and fully complete the activation form. Otherwise, we'll see you one year when you decide to follow the rules. 👍

LOA 2024 public schedule will be live in two weeks. We will be continuing last year's success of mostly advertising locally to events, so only a few will be going up on the website. You will be able to sign up to see if an event is near you that isn't advertised. LOA 2024's will go towards helping provide permanent tiny homes for homeless Americans.

We also want to announce that Light The Night is back in 2024 with two large sky lantern festivals, one in New Mexico and one in Colorado. Their tickets just went on sale. LTN has added a new event, a lantern walk (real lanterns, not light up mini balloons on a stick) for victims of violence. A portion of their profits will go towards helping victims families fight for justice. https://www.lightthenightevents.com

Happy Haunting to all the witches, ghouls, goblin, clowns, princesses, barbies, kens, etc. Be safe if trick or treating and don't drink and drive for the adults. 🐈‍⬛🦇🍸🎃

Not one of our 2023 events were canceled nor were any rescheduled. Please remember to look at who you purchased passes from before falsly claiming it was us.

Wonderful thing there when our competitors have no information on our events, and none were able to buy passes this time.

Our 2023 system worked perfectly.

25/10/2023

We've received a lot of emails asking when our 2024 event schedule will be posted. It will be released around New Years or a little after. If you attended one of this years festivals, you can reach out to your local contact to get 2024 information early.

Starting tomorrow you can sign up to be notified when passes go on sale.

We were told that our competitors were spreading the false rumor that we closed in August. That is NOT true, we're very much still open, holding events, and getting next year ready.

We did make some changes, such as we reorganized LOA into a non profit. Traveling for events this year to new places opened our eyes to just how many Americans are living on the streets. Starting 2024 LOA will be using 80% revenue from each event to go towards building tiny homes for the homeless in the same state/community we hold an event.

The event will go down to the level of our competitors, dont worry you will still be able to see where you're walking. However, our luxurious events is going over to "Glow Lantern Festival" as previously announced on Instagram.

Glow, will also be donating a portion of its revenue towards causes, and Light The Night will be holding new events next year as well. Each of us have our own cause to support but LOA is the only one turning into a non profit to help the homeless. Regardless what some may say about homelessness, we believe everyone deserves a safe and livable roof over their head.

We won't be using Facebook much as noticeable now, and Instagram doesn't show posts to many, but we've completed our own community everyone can join where our posts will actually be viewable by everyone not just a few.

Reminding everyone that we are not the "lights fest", (see post below 👇) and have no association to the mormon cult.

The scam event they're currently on the news for is not us, and not an event of ours. Again lantern release 101, you don't release lanterns in extreme heat, in drought conditions within a city, close to a city line, or especially close to an airport 🤦‍♀️

That being said, stop sending hate mail to us that is for them over their scams, send it to them, send it to the studio below, to lds, to the water lantern festival (same owners).

We've warned everyone for a few years now yet we get their false claims pretending they are us and falsely called a scam because we actually abide by laws.

here is the list of confirmed cult owned/ran lantern festivals;

rise festival
night lights event a.k.a the lantern fest
the lights fest a.k.a the lights
water lantern festival a.k.a one world lantern

the two biggest scam companies belong to and are owned by the same two people are
the lights fest
water lantern festival

WE ARE NOT THE LIGHTS FEST!

Please do not waste your money on this movie as it's a fraud. YES trafficking is very real, but these individuals (not the actor) are the traffickers, they're not saving anyone.

The bogus charity "underground railroad" you will see used as a charity for the scam mormon cult lantern festival company (which is also cult owned), is ran by a cult follower. One cult individual who helped fund this bogus film (fabian marta) was just arrested for kidnapping a 14 year old girl. This specific individual routinely trafficks women and children of all ages.

We're willing to sink loa if need be to warn people. Please NEVER allow your teens to go to any event type alone as they own many. And frankly adults should go in groups and never alone either. Do not allow your kids to roam events without you. Love us for this post or hate us for this post, we will not stop warning everyone about them.

Thankful to live in the northeast where this is a reality🍂🎃

LOA's way of advertising, selling entry, and holding events have ran 100% smooth this year after changing and actually enforcing rules. With that we have also seen the need many areas within states to help their homeless, and the toll the tyrannical supreme court taking away human rights, etc are causing, that our 2024 and future events will be set up to help fund housing for homeless, other needs of individuals and fighting against human rights violations. This is a new ground breaking way to run a sky lantern festival that actually gives back and isn't actually funding human rights violations like the others. We're also moving to have the bogus bans removed in some areas that they were put in to force you to have to go to their lantern festival to release them. Pretty corrupt setup using lds followers in fire departments to do.

LOA is becoming a non profit and will use revenue towards acquiring land all over the country and building tiny home communities for the homeless. It will work with returning LIGHT THE NIGHT and Glow (lantern festival) for some fundraising events in 2024, and more which we'll release soon. You can also set up a fundraising event for your favorite charity as long as they're eligible.

If you know of an area that needs housing help for the homeless please let us know through the live help on our website.

Our website will be changing over to reflect such over the next few weeks. Events will be set up differently than current structure.

We love getting you all back to living in the moment of your adventures and actually experiencing it, instead of spending it behind your phones camera to record it. Events are to be experienced not recorded and we've loved watching you spend your time gettback to life at our events. We look forward to the rest of this year and especially 2024+

We've had many inquiries about a Las Vegas nevada event. As planned from day one, Nevada has gone over to Lantern Park to be the largest desert sky lantern festival ever held in America and will be held twice a year, spring and fall. It's also the FIRST ever to be pet friendly with special sections just for fur families. The date is October 28th & 29th 2023 for Halloween. Passes are now on sale for pre-sale prices which won't last long. You can follow them at on instagram and get passes at www.lanternpark.events

We're excited to share another new addition to LOA festivals; not only do we now have proposal areas with proposal packages, but starting in select locations, you can also elope and get married with a small group of family or friends or just the bride/groom. We've hired someone who is ordained to perform marriages regardless of religion or no religion, and LGBT are welcome to get married at our events. All locations will be set up by the middle of 2023. We guarantee you'll have the most bea-utiful wedding and wedding photos taken by our professional photographer. More information will be posted on our website this weekend. You won't find this at the other festivals as their religion requires weddings in their temple and you to convert. Our "minister" can also perform handfasting for our pagan/wiccan attendees. Check out the website this weekend for more information.
