The 15th annual lantern floating ceremony will be taking place at Ala Moana Beach Park this Memorial Day. This year’s theme is “Many Rivers, One Ocean,” and more than 5,000 candle-lit lanterns will be set afloat at Magic Island. The lanterns are lit in remembrance of deceased loved ones or as a symbolic prayer for a harmonious and peaceful future. Visitors and residents may obtain a free lantern to write personal messages on, or fill out forms that would be placed in collective remembrance lanterns. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and is expected to draw about 40,000 residents and visitors. For additional information go to: www.lanternfloatinghawaii.com
