Sustainability
At the Espetáculo De Lanternas, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We’re dedicated to respecting and protecting every location we visit by embracing a “leave it better than we found it” mindset.
Our crew works with care and precision to collect every lantern after the event and carry out a thorough clean-up of the area. Beyond that, we go the extra mile by removing any litter already present around the venue —because we believe every place deserves to shine a little brighter when we leave.
