There are so many ways to pay tribute to our lost loved ones.  One of the newest and most beautiful ways is through water lantern festivals and we found some in Kentucky & Indiana.

If you've ever lost someone you love you know that everyone has a special way of celebrating their life.  The Water Lantern Festival is a unique and comforting way to come together with others who have also lost those they love and honor.

Here's how they describe the event;

Water Lantern Festival is filled with fun, happiness, hope, and great memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. This is a family-friendly event that can be shared by everyone. Friends, families, neighbors, and lots of people that you haven't met can come together to create a peaceful, memorable experience.

Pet lovers if you take your pups everywhere and plan on attending the festival make sure to leave them at home.  While the event staff loves your furry friends they are not allowed to attend the event.

event I have every been to! The love, the emotions, the spirituality that filled the air was so overwhelming. The experience was a turning point in my life which I have been 9 years looking for. Thank you Water Lantern Festival."-Cindy Q.

"One of the most healing and moving experiences of my life. I am a cancer survivor, 38 months in remission. 12 years ago this month I lost my stepson. My husband and I did not know really what to expect but the way the festival was run and the meditation was very healing to both my husband and myself. We look forward to being able to attend more of the Water Lantern Festival. Thank you for an incredible experience."
