Our tickets are insured by Nicholas Hill Group for one of two eventualities. If the entire event day is cancelled due to weather, you will automatically be refunded 100% of the price of your ticket. If we aren't able to release lanterns you will automatically be refunded 50% of the price of your ticket(s). This coverage is an agreement between the ticket holder and Nicholas Hill and is paid for out of your tickets processing fee. Full terms of this insurance are explained in your ticket waiver.
In addition to the above, you may also elect to have the remaining 50% of your tickets price protected by electing to pay $20 for additional weather protection at the time you purchase your ticket.
You will have an option to add a shuttle pass to your order when you purchase your event ticket.

Each ticket comes with 2 lanterns, a marker for your lantern, and a sitting mat. You will pick up your participant kit right after you enter the ticket gates. Each person entering the festival is required to have their own ticket.
Yes. But with any open flame, there is a possibility to burn yourself if you aren’t careful when lighting and releasing your lanterns. Please use caution.
The lanterns are 100% biodegradable. We will recover 100% of the lanterns plus any additional litter we find in the landing area as part of our commitment to leaving the area better than we found it.
Extra lanterns can be purchased at registration for $12 and at the venue for $15 while supplies last. Please be aware that for safety and environmental reasons lanterns can not be taken home.
Absolutely. RiSE becomes more meaningful when you make your lanterns personal. Inscribe them with a message, prayer, or resolution. We’ll provide you with the right type of markers that won't damaged in the process.
Yes, but you’ll need to be friendly and recruit someone sitting near you to help. The lanterns require 2-3 people to launch.
We currently do not allow camping at the event.
No animals are allowed except for service animals that come with the proper identification and paperwork.
If there is rain or sustained winds over 10 mph, the lantern release may be delayed and possibly cancelled. In the event that we have to cancel the event before opening the gates, participants will be refunded for the tickets (less ticketing and processing fees). If we are unable to release the sky lanterns, participants will receive a 50% refund of the ticket price (less ticketing and processing fees). Please note that we are not able to provide any refunds for tickets that are purchased from 3rd party resellers. If you choose, you can also purchase weather cancellation protection which will ensure you get a full refund of your ticket (less fees) if the lantern portion is cancelled.
We do not allow any blankets, chairs, coolers, strollers, tripods, wagons, pillows, umbrellas. These items are tripping and fire hazards. Drones, large cameras (anything larger than a digital SLR) and outside food or drinks are not allowed except for bottled water. You may bring small bags and backpacks but all will be searched upon check-in for any drugs, alcohol, vapes of any kind, outside food or beverage, 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.
Outside water is permitted. You are also permitted to bring in small snacks that can fit in a small bag. Coolers and large bags are not permitted. No alcoholic beverages will be permitted from outside of the venue. Food and alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the venue.

Tickets are non-refundable other than for inclement weather as specified above. However, tickets are transferable if you wish to sell them. The name on the ticket is inconsequential.
No. Each night is a separate, but same, event and requires a ticket. You must purchase a ticket for the night you wish to come.
We are not able to transfer tickets to different nights or sections.
All sales are final. Aside from the inclement weather policy, as noted above, RiSE does not offer refunds or exchanges. Be aware that ticket resellers and scalpers use the RiSE name to sell overpriced and invalid tickets. We recommend that you only purchase authentic tickets online through risefestival.com and our ticket processing partner events.com. We are not able to honor the refund for inclement weather unless your tickets are purchased directly from RiSE or our ticketing partner.

If approaching from the North on I-15 (i.e. coming from downtown Las Vegas), take exit 25 for Sloan and follow signage and traffic management to Jean Dry Lakebed.
