This colorful celebration honors the reign of King Kamehameha, who was responsible for uniting the Hawaiian Islands under his rule in 1795. The parade proceeds from `Iolani Palace to Kapi`olani Park, starting at 9am and features brightly decorated floats, energetic marching bands and traditional pau riders, who represent a Hawaiian royal court on horseback. The parade traverses the streets of Honolulu, from Downtown through Waikiki, and ends at Kapiolani Park where you can enjoy the Ho‘olaule‘a from 10am to 4pm.
