The Japanese Peace Bell Ceremony at the United Nations Headquarters in New York is an annual event which takes place on the Spring Equinox every year.
The Peace Bell is rung 3 times on the March Equinox to mark the first day of spring. The Peace Bell Ceremony affirms our dedication to clean land, air, and water. The theme for this year is the International year of the Ocean.
