Remembering Hiroshima 76th Anniversary Peace Walk

Past event
Aug 6, 2021, 6:45 to 7:30 PM

The annual Remembering Hiroshima Peace Walk and Ceremony on August 6 will begin at 6:45 p.m. at the Kellogg-Hubbard Library and proceed in silence down State Street to the high school. Participants will carry origami peace cranes created and donated to the walk by a Japanese woman whose family lived through the bombing. At 7:15 p.m., the exact time of the dropping of the bomb, the procession will stop and the bells of Christ Church will chime 76 times, once for every year since the bombing. A short ceremony will take place at the high school where we will share our thoughts of peace and war and sing favorite peace songs, culminating in sending flowers for peace down the Winooski river. All are welcome to participate.
