Hoi An Lantern Festival 2025 Schedule. Do not miss out on this unique event! The majority of visitors choose to arrive early, frequently before 6 pm, to enjoy dinner and the sunset before the glistening, vibrant lanterns steal the stage.

On the day of the festival, traffic in and out of town is restricted. The lantern festival is held on the 14th day of the lunar month, when the moon is at its fullest and brightest, from 06:00 pm to around 10:00 pm.
