[Open] The night has a thousand eyes and the day but one
Who: Everyone!
Where: The stream and the lake
When: Evening of August 14
Rating: PG-13, just in case
Summary: Come and enjoy one small part of the Bon festival!
The Story:
The evening of the 14th, visitors who feel like heading down to the lake where it turns into a stream that disappears into the forest will get to enjoy a summer celebration in the Japanese style. Outdoor lights illuminate the area, and tables hold all manner of art supplies and blank paper lanterns waiting to be decorated.
This is the Wonderland version of toro nagashi, the paper lantern ceremony meant to guide the souls of the departed by decorating lanterns and setting them loose on the water. Anyone is welcome to participate, whether it's saying a prayer for a departed soul they'd like to remember, sending a note message-in-a-bottle style, or just enjoying the evening air.
Either way, once the sun has set and lanterns have been decorated, the candles inside will be lit, and the lanterns will be released into the water.
Gather at the lakeside afterward to watch them empty into the lake and enjoy the ambiance with some food and drink.
