Early Bird Ticket Pricing on Sale Now

LAS VEGAS, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The world’s largest sky lantern festival, RISE, returns to the Mojave Desert October 3-5, 2025, celebrating its 10th anniversary with its most breathtaking and transformative event yet. Every year, thousands make the journey to the Mojave Desert just outside Las Vegas for an experience that is both deeply personal and profoundly communal. For one night, the desert sky becomes a living canvas, illuminated by thousands of floating lanterns—each carrying a story.

In a world of festivals promising bigger crowds and louder stages, RISE Festival stands apart—not for its spectacle, but for its soul. RISE isn’t about headliners or excess—it’s about elevation. At its core is a singular moment unlike anything else on Earth: 20,000 hand-lit lanterns, each carrying messages of hope, remembrance, and dreams, rising in unison into the night sky. This is not a festival where you simply watch—it’s one you create. Guests decorate their lanterns with reflections, aspirations, and tributes before releasing them into the vast desert sky. It is one of the largest and most breathtaking community art projects in the world.

Beyond the lantern release, RISE is an immersive, participatory experience. Thoughtfully curated music performances, large-scale interactive art installations, and tranquil lounges create an environment designed to foster connection, reflection, and joy. It is a place to pause, be present, and share something meaningful. The artist lineup will be announced in early May.

Early Bird tickets are available now at www.RISEfestival.com.
