The Moka Lantern Floating Festival is held every year on August 15th at Koya River Waterside Park. About 3,500 lanterns float on the river, creating a fantastic view to enjoy. Cool, soothing music is played on the stage, allowing visitors to relax and have a beautiful time. Inside the venue, decorated trees and the light of bonfires create a mysterious ambiance. Local food stalls are also present, enabling attendees to enjoy a meal while savoring the event. This event, offering a unique experience in a limited region, is perfect for those wanting to escape the everyday noise and spend a pleasant time. The most recommended way to enjoy it is to sit by the riverside surrounded by the glow of lanterns, listening to calming music and enjoying local delicacies. A short walk away, one can experience a special night that's rare in everyday life.
