Every year peace groups organize events in cities and communities around the word to remember the horrific atomic bombing by the United States of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6 and August 9, 1945.

The events typically include guest speakers, music, and lantern ceremonies where paper, hand-made lanterns are floated on ponds. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many events have moved online.
