Aloha Festivals

Aloha Festivals is a nonprofit based in Honolulu that organises a Hawaiian cultural celebration each September, which began in 1946 as Aloha Week. Its three signature events on Oʻahu are the Royal Court Investiture and Opening Ceremony, with hula and chant, the Waikīkī Hoʻolauleʻa street party with music and entertainment, and the Floral Parade. Its stated mission is to perpetuate Hawaiian culture, and the neighbour islands have run their own events since 2008.
