With music, poetry, and a lantern floating ceremony, From Hiroshima to Hope will shine hope and light on Green Lake on Wednesday evening, August 6, the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima on August 6 and Nagasaki on August 9. The annual remembrance event honors the victims of the atomic bombings, and all victims of violence. With 1,000 candle-lit lanterns floating on Green Lake, From Hiroshima to Hope is one of the largest commemorations of the atomic bombings held outside of Japan.
