What to expect

2026 Chiang Mai Authentic NUT Sky Lantern Festival

This evening festival gathers approximately 4,000 participants to celebrate Yi Peng with sky lanterns, performances, and local food in Chiang Mai. With your VIP ticket tier or Premium ticket tier, you join the main event zones, from the handicraft area to the lantern release field and fireworks viewing area.

Features

• Explore a traditional Thai Handicraft Village, where you can observe and try hands-on Thai handicraft activities before the main ceremony begins. Cultural performances and activities introduce you to Lanna traditions through music, dance, and demonstrations.
• Enjoy Thai snacks along with a Lanna Thai food buffet that includes local dishes, desserts, herbal drinks, and soft drinks, so you can dine on regional flavors without needing to purchase a separate meal.
• Watch the dedicated Yi Peng performance followed by the traditional lantern-lighting ritual, which guides you step by step through preparing and lighting your own sky lantern as part of the ceremony.
• Take part in the sky lantern release participation moment, joining thousands of others as the night sky fills with glowing lanterns, then stay to see the coordinated fireworks display that concludes the celebration.
• Benefit from mobile e-ticket check-in for a streamlined arrival process and use your included round-trip transfers between the designated meeting point and festival venue so you do not need to arrange separate transport to and from the site.

Wrapping up
