Hi, my cousin got married at Geraldo's at LaSalle Park in Burlington Ontario at approximately 9:00 p.m. time, they released Chinese Lanterns which were very exciting to see.
They light the bottoms on fire and then hold them until they fill with hot air. They were about 3 feet tall and it took a while for the party to fill their lanterns as it was a colder night.
3 were released at almost the same time, they twirled together as they got higher in the sky. We were all quite surprised at how high they got and they moved in interesting patterns and then one flamed out and dove off to one side.
It could have looked like something darting away. We have video of it, but it is so hard to see after they are released as the camera had a hard time focusing on the little lights as they assented.
After the three that twirled together, 2 more were released so they were down below the others. When they flamed out, we could watch the lanterns fall slowly. They are made of cardboard and are biodegradable so they do not harm nature.
I would definitely do this sort of thing for a party, but understand how as they get higher in the sky, people who don't know an event is happening would be surprised to see orbs of light in the sky with no sound.
