Boun Lai Heua Fai, the Festival of Light Boats, takes place in Laos every October during the full moon. The festival is celebrated with illuminated boat processions on the Mekong River, lively street performances, and the release of small floating lanterns to symbolize letting go of past misfortunes and bringing in good fortune for the future. This atmospheric event offers a unique way to experience Laos’ cultural and spiritual heritage.
