Mon. May 28     Lantern Floating Ceremony

On Memorial Day, join more than 50,000 people at Ala Moana Beach Park to float lanterns in honor of loved ones who have died. The ceremony begins at 6:10 p.m. onstage with Japanese and Hawaiian rituals including taiko drumming, ringing of a bell, chants and blessings. After the opening ceremony, more than 7,000 lanterns are released into the ocean, casting an orange glow across the shoreline. (Volunteers later gather the lanterns, which are recycled for next year.) To float a lantern or write a message on one, visit the “lantern request tent” from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lanterns are free and are first-come, first-served. Free parking is available from 7 a.m. to midnight at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center. A free shuttle for people with disabilities operates between the center and beach park from 3 to 5:30 p.m., and after the ceremony through 9:30 p.m. This event does not have concessions, so bring your own food and drinks.   Ceremony begins at 6:10 p.m. but you should arrive much earlier to find a space.  Ala Moana Beach Park, Magic Island. 1201 Ala Moana Blvd.   lanternfloatinghawaii.com
