Lanterns for Peace

This observance is a family-oriented gathering with crafts, refreshments, music, and lanterns floated in the war at dusk. The date is chosen to remember the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in 1945. This event is an opportunity for people of all ages to remember those who have died by the use of nuclear weapons and to reflect on visions of a peaceful world. If arriving by car, enter from Sherman Avenue just south of Tenney locks, and proceed to the shelter, which is near E. Johnson Street at the Yahara River.
