Enjoy the custom of Toro Nagashi by floating a lantern to honor those who have passed. In addition to the merchant booths, the festival includes a wide variety of performances in the Inamori Pavilion. Food vendors will be serving in the lower garden and a beer and sake garden will be hosted in the lower garden.

Toro Nagashi (floating lanterns) is a ceremony to honor those who have passed. The floating lanterns commemorate loved ones and wish them peace. Guests will be able to float their candle-lit lanterns (LED candles) in the lower garden stream during the evening ceremony on Friday, August 7th and Saturday, August 8th.
