Lanterns for Peace
August 6, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us at this free, family friendly event to commemorate 74 years since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. We remember those who lost their lives while envisioning a peaceful, nuclear-free future.
Offered annually by PSR Wisconsin and supporting sponsors, Lanterns for Peace features a peace song sing-a-along, refreshments, and a chance to decorate and float an illuminated lantern at dusk. Lanterns will be launched around the time of sunset.
Please join us for this memorial event which is held world-wide, as a call for a peaceful, nuclear-free world!
