Dear Cultural Exchange Participants,
We warmly invite you to come together and take part in the Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawaiʻi – a deeply meaningful and beautiful ceremony of remembrance, reflection, and unity held at Ala Moana Beach.
During this special event, thousands gather to float candle-lit lanterns on the ocean, carrying messages of gratitude, love, and hope. You can participate by floating your own lantern or contributing a message to a collective lantern, joining people from around the world in a shared moment of connection and harmony.
This is not only a cultural experience, but also a unique opportunity to come together, share stories, meet new people, and connect on a deeper level through a powerful, collective tradition that welcomes everyone, regardless of background.
Let’s gather, reflect, and support one another in this unforgettable experience—we hope to see you there!
