Oahu has more festivals than any other island in the state. Whether you want to immerse yourself in Oahu’s unique arts scene, watch authentic hula, or sample the tastes of Hawaii, there is something for everyone on Oahu. This spring, discover the Heart of Hawaii’s culture, history and music during a season filled with lively and colorful festivals ranging from parades and cultural celebrations to sporting events to historic jubilees.
Oahu’s Lei Day Celebration (May 1) at the beautiful Kapiolani Park, features lei making competitions and live music. Throughout the spring months, Mele Mei celebrates Hawaii’s music, hula and culture with some of Hawaii’s best artists—from ukulele to steel guitar, traditional Hawaiian music to slack key, island reggae to rock, and everything in-between. The King Kamehameha Floral Parade in June, features brightly decorated floats and traditional pau riders (female riders in ornate dresses and lei) on horseback, representing the Hawaiian royal court. The Festival features traditional Hawaiian dance, music, chant, practices, arts and crafts, and ‘ono (delicious) food. With up to 30% savings on hotels and so much to experience, spring is the perfect time to dive into Oahu!
