Lantern Rite is arguably the biggest in-game event in Genshin Impact and always sees plenty of new additions, from events to quests. Not all of it is always available right at the start, though, so here is a full schedule for Lantern Rite. 

Coinciding with the Lunar New Year, Genshin Impact hosts Lantern Rite as an in-game festival for the Liyue region. It hasn’t ever missed on being one of the most rewarding events of the game, and this year is no exception, as it is packed with mini-events and plenty of Primogems.  

Lantern Rite is part of version 4.4 in Genshin Impact, and the version is already live. But Lantern Rite doesn’t follow the same schedule, starting and ending, with the version, so here’s the full schedule for Lantern Rite in Genshin Impact.
