Lantern Floating Ceremony (Memorial Day - May 30th)A cultural experience and beautiful, memorable event for many. From the Facebook event page: "Every year on Memorial Day, thousands of people gather together at Magic Island at Ala Moana Beach Park to honor ancestors and loved ones who have passed away. More than 1,100 candle-lit lanterns are set afloat on the ocean, a traditional Buddhist rite originating in Japan. The ceremony also combines the local culture of hula with the Japanese Shomyo Choir and Taiko drums." https://www.facebook.com/events/193462797660619/ "Exploring Modular Origami" workshop (June 3rd)Check out this "Exploring Modular Origami" workshop, coming up on Friday June 3 from 10:30am-12pm!
