15th Annual

Lantern Floating Hawaii May 27, 2013 Monday, Memorial Day

Ala Moana Beach Honolulu, Hawai‘i

6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Every year on Memorial Day, tens of thousands of people gather

on O„ahu‟s south shore along with thousands more who join

this event via live streaming and telecast to honor loved ones

and generate hope toward the future. Lantern Floating Hawaii

allows people a personal moment to remember, reflect and offer

gratitude to those who have gone before us. It is also a

collective experience where families, friends and even strangers

reach out with love and understanding to support one-another.

We become stronger as a community when we are able to

recognize our shared values. Lantern Floating Hawaii helps to

open our hearts in an experience that transcends the human

boundaries that usually divide us.
