Yi Peng Festival 2025 Chiang Mai

The heart of the legendary Yi Peng (Yee Peng) Sky Lantern Festival perfectly intertwined with Loy Krathong celebrations .

Highlights : 

• Magical Mass Lantern Release: The signature of Yi Peng is thousands of sky lanterns (“khom loi”) ascending into the night—each carrying wishes for good luck and blessings .

• Combined Celebration: While Yi Peng focuses on lanterns rising skyward, Loy Krathong complements with lantern floats on water. Chiang Mai celebrates both in harmony, offering a dazzling visual feast .

• Organized Event by CAD: The Chiang Mai Arts & Design (CAD) Cultural Center hosts a ticketed mass release event featuring cultural performances (Northern Thai dances, tribal arts, traditional music), Lanna cuisine, ceremonies, and meditative lantern releases .

• Ticket Options: Choose from Standard, VIP, Premium, or Elite tiers. Packages typically include entry, two lanterns, one kratong, food access, and transport (options vary by tier) .

• Don’t Miss the City Festivities: Even without tickets, Chiang Mai city lights up with public parades, illuminated decorations, and floating lanterns around Tha Phae Gate and Nawarat Bridge

Dates: November 5 and 6, 2025
