For the past nine years, tens of thousands of kindred spirits have gathered in the Mojave Desert near Las Vegas to participate in an awe-inspiring communal ceremony called RISE. RISE is an immersive, three-part festival blending Art, Music, and Light into a magical and elevating experience. Everyone receives two lanterns upon which we write our hopes and dreams. And twice per night, we light and let go. It’s a collective art project, a moment to behold, and the centerpiece of our festival.
