Hancock Street around 5:30 p.m. where the event ended with a meal. The theme this year was;

"Reclaiming the Earth, Repairing the World"

 

The theme was about finding ways people can help create peace as an alternative to violence and finding sustainable ways to treat the environment.

The Peace Walk featured participants of different cultures, religions and faith traditions, including Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Bahá'ís and secularists. Attendees visited different houses of worship while engaging in conversation, singing, praying and reflecting.
