Today is Kamehameha day throughout the state of Hawaii. For those of you who don’t know, the holiday is observed in honor of King Kamehameha who conquered the Hawaiian islands and established the kingdom of Hawaii in 1810.
Lahaina was once the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom and on Saturday the town will host a parade in honor of the great King.
Starting at 10am, a colorful floral parade will commence down Front Street in Lahaina featuring Pa`u riders on horses decorated with exotic island flowers representing each major island.
The community parade will include marching bands, floats and more, all honoring King Kamehameha the Great’s families. An awards ceremony and arts festival take place at Banyan Tree Park with island food and crafts, pa`u dressing and riding demonstrations, plus Hawaiian entertainment.
The festivities will go on from 9am to 5 pm. We hope to see you there.
