Rise lantern-lighting festival returning to Mojave Desert

Updated March 26, 2021 - 7:21 pm

Rise is returning to light up the desert once more.

A unique two-day event where attendees launch lanterns into the night sky and DJs perform, the festival will take place on Oct. 1 and 2 at the Dry Jean Lake Bed in the Mojave Desert, 25 miles south of Las Vegas.

Three thousand pre-sale tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. April 1 at risefestival.com.

They are expected to sell out quickly.

Once that allotment of tickets is gone, more will become available at a higher price.

Launched in 2014, Rise now draws tens of thousands of revelers annually, and returns this fall after taking 2020 off due to coronavirus concerns.

There also are Rise events planed for Australia and Dubai.
