Aloha Festivals: Celebrating 76 Years of Hawaiian Culture and Tradition
The Aloha Festivals, Hawaii’s largest and longest-running cultural event, celebrates its 76th year with a vibrant display of Hawaiian traditions, music, and community spirit. Beginning in 1946 to preserve Hawaii's heritage, the festival now draws thousands to events like the Aloha Festivals Floral Parade and the Waikīkī Hoolaulea, a massive block party filled with food, music, and hula performances. Key moments include the introduction of the Royal Court, honoring Hawaii’s monarchy, and performances by local hālau hula. The festival is a reminder of the importance of passing down Hawaiian culture to future generations and embodying the spirit of aloha.
