Chiang Mai Yi Peng Lantern Festival 2026 Ticket with Transfers

Illuminate Chiang Mai’s night sky during the Chiang Mai Lantern Festival 2026 as glowing Yi Peng lanterns rise into a sea of wishes. At the San Pa Tong festival venue, an entrance modeled after Chiang Mai’s ancient city walls sets the tone for a night that feels beautifully staged yet deeply local. The evening brings together blessing rituals, cultural performances, community crafts, handmade souvenirs, and dining experiences shaped by 4 ticket tiers, from Kad Mua-style market flavors to buffet, vegan, food truck, and premium selections. Transfer options are arranged by ticket type, and each paid ticket includes 3 sky lanterns for the grand release, inviting you to choose the festival tier that fits your style before the sky comes alive with light and wishes.

Celebrate Chiang Mai Lantern Festival 2026, where Yi Peng and Loy Krathong traditions meet in a night of culture, crafts, and light. Start with shuttle boarding at CMU Hall for Standard and VIP tickets, or hotel pickup in Chiang Mai for Premium and Elite tickets.

Arrive at the San Pa Tong venue and pass through an entrance modeled after Chiang Mai’s ancient city walls. After check-in, explore festival grounds filled with Lanna rituals, cultural performances, community crafts, ethnic traditions, and handmade souvenirs.

Try hands-on activities such as parasol painting, wood carving, Taleaw lucky keychain making, weaving, and traditional games. Dining varies by ticket tier, from Kad Mua-style market flavors to buffet, vegan, premium menus, and food truck experiences. Receive a clay candle set for the blessing ritual, then honor Loy Krathong at the floating area, with Elite guests enjoying a more private setting.

As night falls, release your Yi Peng sky lanterns alongside thousands of glowing lights. After the celebration, return by shuttle or hotel transfer with memories of Chiang Mai’s lantern-lit festival night.
