Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii in the
Pan Pacific Festival Parade
June 9, 2019 – 5:00-7:00 PM

Please the Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii as the Pan-Pacific Festival culminates the evening of June 9 in the Pan-Pacific Parade from Fort DeRussy to Kapiolani Park.

The Hongwanji Ohana will be humbly walking to celebrate Honpa Hongwanji’s 130th Anniversary in Hawaii and to promote Peace Day Hawaii (which is September 21st. To emphasize our “Walk in Peace” 2019 theme, we will carry origami peace cranes.

The Betsuin business office is not coordinating temple participation, but is collecting RSVPs for temple members who plan to attend. This information will be useful for the statewide Peace Day Committee and may help attendees plan transportation.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Meeting time at Fort DeRussy is at 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 9, one hour before the parade begins.
  • HHMH will have an open-air trolley for those who wish to ride instead of walk.
  • Wear your temple shirt or Hongwanji Peace Day t-shirt. Or other peace-related message.
  • You are encouraged to bring origami peace cranes on bamboo sticks (display only; we cannot distribute cranes to onlookers as we do in the MLK Parade).
  • Members, friends, partner organizations are all welcome to join with the Hongwanji Ohana in the parade.
