When is the Lantern Rite Festival in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact’s Lantern Rite Festival is one of the most awaited events of the game that players have been waiting for. While the event was already available in the beta version of the game, it was set to come in the public version of the game with Genshin Impact 1.3 update. However, the first event that we got was Five Flushes of Fortune and not the Lantern Rite. So, many of the players were wondering “When is the Lantern Rite Festival in Genshin Impact“.
