Water Lantern Festival (free version - Simi Valley)

Meetup people, let’s invade this year’s Water Lantern Festival, which will take place in Simi Valley. This is a free event to attend if you just intend to watch the lanterns. A lot of people did that the last time I went to this event, but if you want to purchase a ticket I will provide the link below. Here is a promo video about the festival, so you can get a sense of what to expect (https://youtu.be/VLaJA7xAFtg). Also I will upload some photos that I took from last year’s event. So join me because I promise you this will be more exciting than feeding the ducks with some bread.
