There is of course an annual Sky Lantern Festival.

TW-1484183 Sky Lanterns in Pingxi (平溪), Taiwan
In Pingxi (平溪) (as well as in Shifen (十分)) a
visitor is able to purchase a sky lantern (天燈), write wishes on it and release it
into the sky. It is of course more
visually pleasant to do so at night but there is nothing stopping a person from
doing this activity at any time of the day.
To the Chinese, releasing a Sky Lantern is especially meaningful during the Chinese New Year festivities.

Such lanterns are becoming more and more popular in Russia. Some people do it in weddings and other big days.
