Sky Lantern Festival BW

a magical moment as we send decorated lanterns into the sky adorned with hopes, dreams, and messages -creating an undeniably profound and unforgettable experience. Lights over Botswana intends to evoke renewal and inspiration to celebrate life, a reminder of how precious special moments together really are. Lights over Botswana is an event for all ages
Come and enjoy good music and dance, good food, play games, take pictures and enjoy the breath taking sights of lighting the sky with thousands of lanterns. For us, this event is more than just releasing a lantern into the sky, watching for a few minutes and going home - it is an opportunity to connect with people we'd otherwise never meet, to establish intentions, let go of our worries and interact with the traditions of cultures other than our own. Is it Safe- We will be using ecologically harmless lanterns that are 100% biodegradable, flame retardant & contain a fuel cell that has a quicker burn time designed to fully burn out before returning to the earth's surface. Our lanterns are made from rice paper, bamboo & natural fiber string. The lanterns that we use are above industry standards and have been scientifically created to leave no footprint other than magic.

2. What happens to the lanterns after- Our event will be equipped with a full time cleaning crew and LANTERN CHASERS who literally chase the lanterns from the moment they are lit, following the trajectory, for a quick pick up. This efficient crew continues a widespread search of lanterns before we leave our location , sweeping the area during the lantern launch and directly after. Not only do we pick up the lanterns , but we pick up the trash we can find along the way.

3. What should i bring- we recommend bringing camp chairs and blankets. sun shades are nice if you plan on arriving earlier in the day.
