Clean Up; We have a “No Lantern Left Behind Policy”, where we have our cleanup team stationed out in the landing zone ready to collect every lantern as they begin to descend.
We track our lanterns flight with 4 Mavic 3T Enterprise Drones, so we know exactly where every lantern flies and lands. We hold a trial run before the event date to test and determine where the lanterns will land.
Tickets are emailed out instantly after your purchase goes through.
