Shinnyo Lantern Floating Festival | Honolulu
Celebration
Thousands of people will gather at Ala Moana Beach Park for Hawaii's True Lantern Festival, a moving tradition dedicated to remembering loved ones who have passed away. Rooted in Buddhist practices, the festival invites people of all backgrounds to float lanterns into the ocean as a symbol of remembrance, peace, and hope. It's a breathtaking sight to see thousands of shining lanterns float across the water, each flickering a message of love, loss, and remembrance into the vastness of the ocean. Beyond personal remembrance, this event fosters unity and encourages community reflection and healing. Remember, reflect, and find inner peace amidst the beauty of the lanterns at the 27th annual Floating Lantern Ceremony.
