Lantern Fest SLC 2016

On Saturday we got to attend Lantern Fest in Salt Lake City.  We had such a fun time going to the event, we wanted to share our experience with you all on our blog!

Lantern Fest had a fun festival atmosphere where you could bring food, blankets, camping chairs and all hang out around a fire!  Jake and I went by ourselves but we were able to meet so many fun new friends around the camp fire.  There were 510 fire pit spots set up so there was lots of room to spread out, walk around and have some fun!  At the event was live music, photo booths, food trucks and lots of fun things for kids/adults to do and see.  This event was perfect for large groups or just on your own as well.

With the tickets came a lantern and a cute little smore’s box.  Inside was a lighter, marker, instructions for lanterns and smore’s supplies of course! (enough for 4 smore’s per person)!  Before it got dark out, we were able to color on our lanterns and make them our own.  That made it even more fun for when we saw them go up in the sky!

When it got dark, they showed everyone how to light the lanterns, and then off the lanterns went!  Jake and I were both not skilled in the lantern lighting department! haha I didn’t wait for my lantern to get enough air in it and my lantern ran into a ton of camping chairs!  I chased after it though and tried again and it went up in the sky!  It was worth the wait 😉

We made a video from our adventures!  Come join us for a true “Tangled” moment and let us know what you think!
