Advertiser Staff

As the sun sets, bon dancers continued to enjoy themselves at the Hawaii Plantation Village, site of one of the season's first dances.

It will soon be bon dance season — the time of year when Hawai'i's Buddhist temples and other organizations celebrate with festivals focused on ages-old folk dance.

The Advertiser will again publish a comprehensive list of bon dances in the Islands on Sunday, June 3. Each week's bon dances will be listed in the weekly TGIF and Neighbor Island calendars as well.

If your temple or organization is planning a bon dance, send time, date, location and description of festival activities and contact information to: Bon Dance Calendar, The Advertiser, Island Life, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu HI 96802; islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com with "Bon Dance Calendar" in the subject line; or fax 525-8055. The deadline is May 23.
