About Yeepeng Festival
According to the lunar calendar, the 15th day of the waxing moon of the 12th lunar month is celebrated annually. For the Lanna people, it signifies the full moon day of the second lunar month and is known as the Yi Peng tradition or the festival of releasing lanterns into heaven. Additionally, it is part of the Loy Krathong Festival celebrated by the Thai people nationwide.
The Lanna people inhabit the upper northern region of Thailand and observe the Yi Peng tradition, a significant Buddhist practice believed to be a grand and essential affair. This tradition is rooted in the belief held by Buddhists that all rivers in the world eventually flow into the Tavatimsa heaven, the site of the Chulamanee Chedi containing the hair relics of the current Buddha. Considering Thailand’s historical agricultural society, this practice is recognized as a form of worship dedicated to Mae Kongkha, the water goddess credited with providing water throughout the year.
The tradition of releasing floating lanterns in Chiang Mai Province is particularly popular among tourists worldwide. The event is considered a joyous occasion, culminating in awe-inspiring memories as lanterns are released into the evening sky. It is believed to be a time for children and grandchildren to accrue merit and dedicate it to their ancestors by making offerings along the river, cleaning and adorning their homes, and performing religious ceremonies. The tradition commences on the 1st day of the waxing moon of the second lunar month, marked by offerings of Madhupayasa rice and sermons for good fortune.
The Yee Peng Lanna Festival 2024 is scheduled to take place on November 15, 2024, at Gassan Panorama Golf Course in Ban Thi, Lamphun Province.
