Evanston celebrates its first Lantern Floating Ceremony. Candles were used at the one-night festival to celebrate and memorialize life, said organizer Melissa Raman Molitor. “We thought this would be a really great opportunity to bring the community together to honor our losses over the past two years,” she said. More than 100 people attended lantern-making workshops and then set the small lights sailing on to the Arrington Lagoon near Lake Michigan. The event concluded Asian, South Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
