Back from the Brink: Remembering the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — 80 Years Ago

Sat August 9, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

Via Watertown Citizens for Peace, Justice and Environment:

On Saturday, August 9, Watertown Citizens will hold our Annual Remembrance of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This is the 80th anniversary of the bombing and in recognition of the Peace and Common Security’s effort to place a Nuclear Disarmament Resolution in front of the Watertown City Council, the theme of this year’s event is “Back from the Brink.”

We will gather in Watertown Square for a Silent Vigil and Brief Program at 7:00 PM. At 8:00 PM we will move to the MDCR Dock for music and personal reflections follow by the launching of the candle boats.

Please mark your calendars and spread the word!
