Experience the Magic of Winnipeg’s Water Lantern Festival This Summer 2025
The Water Lantern Festival is finally making its way to Winnipeg! On Saturday, July 26, 2025, you can experience this one-of-a-kind event at the Harbourview Park and Recreation Complex.
We expect a lot of people to show up, so it’s ideal to arrive early, preferably when the gates open at 6:30 PM. You’ll have enough time to pick a great picnic spot by the water, where you can enjoy the live music and indulge in delicious food.
Around 9 PM, you’ll begin personalizing your lanterns with messages and manifestations. Then, you can float your lanterns on the water, take photos, and simply soak in the enchanting spectacle until the festival ends.

Early bird pricing is now available for only $42.99 until June 30. After, General Admission tickets will cost $47.99 until July 24, and they will cost $67.99 on the day of the festival.
Aside from entry to the event and access to the bazaars, your ticket comes with a floating lantern kit, an LED candle, and a marker. We recommend bringing a picnic blanket or some chairs so you can sit comfortably while waiting for the launch hour.
