Prince Kūhiō Commemorative Parade & Ho‘olaule‘a/Hō‘ike‘ike
Saratoga/Kalākaua to Kapi‘olani Park
The parade honors the accomplishments of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole, founder of the Hawaiian Civic Club movement and proponent of the Hawaiian Homestead Act of 1920. A unique parade, it honors the dedication and commitment of a multitude of individuals and organizations who work year-round to practice and to perpetuate the Hawaiian culture and who enhance the welfare and well-being of the Native Hawaiian community. Each year members of the Royal Societies participate and rare Hawaiian flags of the Hawaiian Kingdom are featured.
The Ho`olaule`a/Ho`ike`ike at Kapi`olani Park features native Hawaiian arts and crafts, exhibits by various Native Hawaiian organizations and businesses, and rarely available food and treats. Hawaiian musicians and Hula fill the afternoon with entertainment.
