"Five days after the massacre at a country music concert on the Strip, the RiSE Lantern Festival held its fourth edition Friday night. It was sold out by Sept. 30, but many festivalgoers had the victims heavy on their mind as they honored those who were lost.
"Event organizers considered canceling the festival, estimated to bring in about 13,000 people on Friday and Saturday, but co-founder Jeff Gehring chose not to.
"Arres, who came from the Soboba Indian Reservation in Southern California, said the extra security made him feel better.
'It’s the safest place to be,' he said Friday night as music filled their ears and lanterns levitated over their heads."
