Celebrate the 100th Annual King Kamehameha Day Floral Parade on June 11, 2016, about 55 minutes from the Ko Olina Beach Villas. The parade will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the historic ‘Iolani Palace in downtown Honolulu.
The parade will be a display of Old Hawaii pageantry. Plumeria flowers. The strum of the ukulele. Falsetto voices wafting through the air. This is the Hawaii the world fell in love with. Everything is symbolic; colors, flowers, and presentation order all have meaning.
The King Kamehameha Day Floral Parade has the longest parade route in the nation, from ʻIolani Palace to Kapiʻolani Park, the parade stretches just over 4 miles long.
There will be over 15 different review stands along the parade route. No matter where you are on the route, you will be able to hear the parade narrative.
The 100th parade will culminate with a large party at Kapiʻolani Park scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Expect to see fine Hawaiian arts and crafts, hear live music from top performing artists, and submerse yourself in Hawaiian cultural practices.
