Thanksgiving Sunday Waterfront Sky Candle Memorial | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Have you lost a loved one, such as a parent, family member or close friend? On Thanksgiving Sunday, join your friends and family for a memorial tribute, celebrating those we’ve lost in years past and honoring their souls with a glowing message to the sky.

Waterfront Sky Candle Memorial 
Sunday, November 30, 2014 – 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Secret Location (SF) | San Francisco, CA
FREE but $2 donation appreciated

Event Update – RSVPs are now closed and the event is at capacity. If you have RSVP’d on Facebook you may invite one friend to join.

Please RSVP and come down for a sunset BBQ (bring a dish to share or something to grill), followed by the launch of this tribute in the sky which is scheduled to take place around 7:30 pm.

WHAT TO BRING
– Bring a bamboo/bio-degradable sky lantern- you can buy these in Chinatown near Grant and Clay
– Bring paper & pen to write a message to a lost loved one
– Bring a sense of community and a willingness to let things go.

We’re told it’s rain or shine, but please check Facebook for updates. (If you have not already RSVP’d the event page on Facebook will look “unavailable” as it’s restricted just to those we have already clicked “Going.”)

They’ll be providing sky lanterns for the first 200 people you to write a message to your lost loved one before sending off to the air.

Please note that we’re not certain of the legality of sky lanterns in California (can they fall prematurely and start a fire?), we’re posting this just because we think this event sounds amazing and should be a beautiful, cathartic sight.

Where is this event happening?
The event will take place at a secret location along the San Francisco’s northern waterfront. The exact location will be posted on Facebook around noon on the day of the event.

What to bring?
Bring your own bio-friendly sky lantern with you. The organizers will have about 200 to give out (first come, first served) for a $2 donation. Also bring your own markers or sharpies if you decide to write a letter to your loved ones.
