This is the annual lantern ceremony, marking the 66th anniversary
of the atomic bombing of Japan. To remember this date and those who
died, we make origami cranes and lanterns and offer words of peace.
Lantern
making starts at 7 pm, with words and songs of peace at 7:30 pm,
followed by floating the lanterns in the Gorge. Lanterns with battery
candles may be placed on the lawn.
Bring a blanket and/or chair to sit on and a battery candle if you wish. Floating lantern supplies will be provided.
All welcome.
