Nashville LaternFestival

This was my first time coming to this festival and it was so much fun. I went with my family and there were a lot of food trucks there, stands to buy products, and merch. Once it got dark it looked so beautiful and I’m definitely coming back next year!!

Cost: $30 for the latern kit and everything that comes with it (early bird pricing)

Wasted 52$ on food which honestly regret not bringing food bc the lines were insane

... Read moreThe Nashville Lantern Festival has quickly become a beloved annual event, attracting locals and visitors seeking a unique experience filled with vibrant community spirit and beautiful visuals. Beyond the basic lantern kit, attendees can explore a diverse array of food trucks offering flavors that cater to all tastes, including popular creamy delights like Vanilla, Oreo, Strawberry, Chocolate Chip, and dairy-free options. This variety enhances the festival's family-friendly atmosphere, making it a perfect outing for all ages.

Merchandise stands offer unique festival souvenirs, allowing guests to take home mementos of this magical event. Whether you are a first-timer or a returning visitor, the Nashville Lantern Festival offers a chance to connect with the community, enjoy beautiful aesthetics, and make lasting family memories. This event emphasizes celebration, creativity, and local culture, making it a must-visit festival in Nashville each year.

One of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had to date! The lantern festivals usually happen around September & October all around the country! This particular one was located in Pennsylvania. This is a great and unique date idea or just a magical trip with your friends or family! #skyla

Some other tips I didn’t mention: -I saw a lot of people that brought tripods to take photos, which turned out to be a very smart move! Luckily, we had a kind group of people around us that wanted us to get some cute pictures so that wasn’t a problem for us. -GET THE SMORES KIT. It’s fun and cute
