2. TIMELAPSE OF PEOPLE LIGHTING AND RELEASING SKY LANTERNS PENNSYLVANIA, US - SEPT. 14, 2025: Thousands of people gathered at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Sept. 14, for the Lantern Lights Festival, releasing lanterns into the night sky in a colorful display.

Each participant is allowed to personalize their lanterns with messages, drawings, or dedications, with many using the moment to celebrate milestones, honor loved ones, or mark new beginnings. The event also features food trucks, live music, and performances, creating a community-centered experience that has taken place in over 10 US cities since its inception.

The event is part of the Night Lights festival series, which was founded in 2018 and is inspired by the traditional Chiang Mai Lantern Festival in Thailand. Organizers say the festival is about more than just releasing lanterns—it is meant to connect communities, encourage reflection, and symbolize letting go of worries.
