#20th annual Celebration of Life
‘Extremely uplifting’: Community comes together to honor light of lost loved ones during 20th annual Celebration of Life
It wasn’t somberness or melancholy that kept the thousands of people gathered on the shores of Reeds Bay on Sunday evening in Hilo, it was reverence; a shared sense of honor and respect for fellow community members going through the same experience.
Illuminate the night in remembrance, honor for loved ones who’s lights were snuffed out
For one evening each year, at the end of May, thousands of Big Island community members gather at Reeds Bay Beach Park in Hilo during the annual Hawai‘i Care Choices Celebration of Life to launch lanterns to pay tribute to the lives lived by loved ones who passed away and how they touched the lives of others.
