Pan Pacific Festival-Matsuri in Hawaii

This special three-day celebration begins with Hawaiian festivities on Friday evening, including a block party where last year, more than 40,000 people enjoyed the entertainment and food. The celebration includes a hula festival held at Ala Moana Center, where spectators have the rare opportunity to see hula groups from Japan perform with Hawaiian hula hālau. The event culminates with a grand parade along Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki.
