Mahalo to everyone who came out to the 2024 Haleʻiwa Christmas parade! It was great to walk alongside the Royal Hawaiian Band and join the community in ringing in the holiday season. Mahalo to the North Shore Chamber of Commerce for organizing another fun parade!
For more holiday fun, enjoy the festive spirit this season at Kapolei City Lights, now open at Kapolei Hale. This year’s theme, “Show Aloha This Holiday Season,” will be on display through Sunday, January 5, 2025. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday through Sunday and holidays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Honolulu City Lights is also marking its 40th Anniversary! Decorations at Honolulu Hale will be up throughout December, with daily viewing hours from 6 p.m. until dawn.
December is a time for gratitude, connection, and unity. May your season be filled with joy, ono meals, and cherished moments with ʻohana and friends. Please remember to celebrate safely this month. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe and joyful holiday season!
