Bon dance list being prepared

One of those things that makes living in Hawai'i special is the annual series of o-bon festivals hosted by temples and community organizations around the Islands.

The Advertiser will publish its annual bon dance calendar on May 31, in advance of the bon dance season, which begins in June and continues through August. Then, each week, that week's bon dances will be listed in the TGIF and Faith calendars as well.

If your religious or community organization is planning a bon observance, we'd like to hear from you. Include time, date, place and events planned. Write Bon Dance Calendar, Island Life, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96802; e-mail islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com; or fax 525-8055.
