Water Lantern Festival; Danson Park & Clapham Common; 5th, 19th & 20th September; from £24.90
Following a successful UK debut last year, the Water Lantern Festival is returning to London this summer. Set to transform the city into a glowing celebration of community, reflection and shared experience, the festival will take place at Danson Park on 5th September before returning to Clapham Common on 19th and 20th September. This cultural and sensory event is co-produced by Water Lantern Festival and Fever, the world’s leading tech platform for discovering culture and live entertainment.
The festival offers an enchanting open-air setting, where hundreds of floating lights transform the landscape as the sun sets over the lake. Guests can enjoy live music, curated food options from local vendors, and recreational activities, all within an atmosphere designed for reflection and shared connection. Those wishing to take part in the ritual can purchase a kit via Fever’s website or app, including all the materials needed to fully experience the occasion.
The ritual is at the heart of the event, allowing attendees to write a personal message, whether a wish, a reflection, or a note of gratitude, before setting the eco-friendly lanterns afloat on the water. This symbolic act invites introspection and a sense of closure, all within a natural setting and without any negative impact on the environment.
Designed for audiences of all ages, the Water Lantern Festival offers the chance to experience a unique international tradition without leaving the city. Bringing together nature, reflection and community, it introduces a new cultural experience to be enjoyed with family and friends in London.
Tickets are available HERE.
