There’s nothing worse than seeing negative reviews of other, irresponsible lantern companies who ruin what should be a life-changing and magical experience. This is why we feel that as a leading lantern event, we must set an example and standard for others.
Our lantern launch events are NOT banned. We’ve scientifically tested our lantern flight and disintegration process to ensure the highest quality of engineering, raising industry standards for global lantern production in the process.
We also work closely with both state and local officials each year, as well as fire marshals, to ensure our event is executed safely and legally — especially with regard to the lighting and releasing of lanterns.
Bottom line: Night Lights has received a permit for lighting and releasing lanterns (in most places this practice is illegal unless you have a permit in place).
