Rise Festival in Las Vegas

By Patti Gutshall

Last weekend we went to the Rise Lantern Festival. Located on the Mowapa Paiute Indian Reservation, North Las Vegas.  We were given a mat, a pen and two lanterns.  

As the sun set 13,000 people gathered and prepared their lanterns.  8:15pm, torches were lit and we worked together for The Rise.  

You can’t explain the feeling as you watched your lantern Rise higher and higher, everyone with a different message.  Only days after the shooting, #VegasStrong.
