General Info

Are the lanterns safe?

Yes. However, with any open flame, there is a possibility to burn yourself or others if you aren’t careful when lighting and releasing your lanterns. Please exercise caution and remember that RISE is an outdoor event in the desert with many risks from the weather and the natural environment.

Are the lanterns biodegradable?

The lanterns are 100% biodegradable. We will recover 100% of the lanterns, plus any additional litter found in the landing area, as part of our commitment to leaving the area better than we found it.

Can I buy extra lanterns?

Extra lanterns can be purchased at any RISE merchandise tent at the venue while supplies last. Please be aware that for safety and environmental reasons, lanterns cannot be taken home.

Can I write on my sky lantern?

Absolutely. RISE becomes more meaningful when you personalize your lanterns. Inscribe them with a message, prayer, or resolution. We’ll provide you with the right type of markers that won’t damage lanterns in the process.

Can I light my lanterns if I’m attending alone?

Yes, but you’ll need to be friendly and recruit someone sitting near you to help. The lanterns require 2-3 people to launch.

Are animals allowed?

Only trained service animals are permitted.

Rules:
NO emotional support animals, therapy animals, or companion animals.

Pets are NOT allowed and will be turned away.

Legitimate service animals that are properly trained and under the responsible care of their owners will be provided with the appropriate credentials.

Service animals must remain by the handler’s side at all times and must be harnessed and leashed unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices.

Anyone bringing a service animal will be responsible and liable for any damage or injury caused by the animal.

All animals should have legally required vaccinations (which may need to be verified).

Am I allowed to bring my own food and beverages?

Unfortunately, no outside food or beverages are allowed at RISE. However, we will have a great selection of delicious, healthy food and a full selection of beverages including complimentary water for all RISE guests.

What can I bring to the event?

We do not allow any blankets, chairs, coolers, wagons, pillows, or umbrellas as these items are tripping and fire hazards. Drones, drugs, alcohol, weapons, and outside food or drinks are not allowed except for sealed bottled water. You may bring small bags and backpacks, but all will be searched upon check-in for drugs, alcohol, vapes of any kind, outside food or beverages, weapons, or any other hazardous or prohibited items. Please keep in mind that RISE is held on federal land, therefore federal drug and alcohol laws apply at the venue.
