As the sun fell below the horizon on Memorial Day, the waters around Ala Moana Park were illuminated by thousands of floating lanterns. The performance and ceremony are in remembrance of the loved ones that have been lost. Originally a Japanese Buddhist ceremony, the practice of floating lanterns on the open waters has become an annual tradition in Honolulu. This year brought more than 40,000 people to Ala Moana Park.
