Join with community members to commemorate the devastation of the World War II bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and advocate for peace at the Arcata Lantern Floating Ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 6, at 7:30 p.m. at Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary’s Klopp Lake (free). There will be music and poetry with lanterns entering the water at sunset. Earlier in the day at the Arcata Plaza Farmers Market, community members can take part in free lantern-
making from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and bring their lantern to the evening’s floating ceremony. Carpooling or shuttling to the lantern ceremony is suggested.
