The Imagine Peace Tower is a tribute to John Lennon by his widow Yoko Ono. It is lit on Videy Island just outside of Reykjavik Iceland every year from October 9 (the day he was born) until December 8 (the day he passed away). Every year for the annual lighting ceremony is held, but you can also visit the tower any day that it is lit. Check out my new vlog showing how you can join!
