last weekend was the last of the bon dances in Haleiwa.
there are two Jodo missions in Haleiwa and they both have
bon dances on different weekends.
The biggest is the Haleiwa Jodo.
what makes this one so unique is that they do a lantern floating ceremony.
I just love this tradition. This one is much smaller than the crazy one that's done
at Ala Moana on Memorial Day.
We used to do lanterns when the one in town was held in Ala Wai canal with
canoes pulling the lantern out to the entrance.
I love watching the families...old, young, very young all dancing around
to the beat of the drums.
