INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY: Given that The Lantern Festival is an outdoor event, we understand that inclement weather can sometimes occur.
Therefore, event dates and locations are subject to change. In the event of inclement weather leading to the cancellation of a Sunday event, the first available makeup date will typically be scheduled for the Sunday of the next weekend. If Sunday isn't feasible, the second backup date will be arranged within 90 days of the original event date. Please note that refunds are not provided when weather conditions necessitate rescheduling or relocating
an event. Instead, your tickets will remain valid for the first available makeup date that we organise. If a makeup date isn't scheduled within 90 days of the original event, refunds will be offered. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility regarding these circumstances.
