King Kamehameha Celebration

2021 King Kamehameha Celebration Events Cancelled As of March 17, 2021 due to the continuing threat and uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission announces the cancellation of all King Kamehameha Celebration parade events statewide. The Lei Draping’s may still be held in a private format if regulations permit. A socially distanced Ho`olaule`a on O`ahu, is still being considered for the June 11th holiday. The decision to can...cel these major, statewide events was made with the health and safety of our island communities and kpuna in mind. While we are hopeful that the worst of the COVID-19 health crisis will be behind us by June, we feel the prudent response at this time is to cancel the parades as the preparations and event draw large crowds to prepare and attend. This allows all involved in our respective King Kamehameha Celebration festivities across the state to focus on matters important to health, welfare, and economy. We look forward to a return to in-person festivities commemorating and celebrating Kamehameha Pai`ea in 2022, said Kainoa Daines, Chair of the King Kamehameha Celebration Commission. He added, The Commission will prepare for the 150th anniversary of the Kamehameha Day Holiday in 2022. For more information, updates and 2022 dates, visit www.ags.hawaii.gov/kamehameha

We are excited to share with you two private ceremonies that took place with community support on June 11, 2020 - the 148th Annual King Kamehameha Celebration. The major, crowd-gathering events were canceled back in April to keep our communities and kpuna safe, but the Kamehameha Day holiday was still celebrated. We invite you and your loved ones, from the safety of your homes, to enjoy the pomp and ceremony! Mahalo. #KamehamehaDay

Using the guidance on bit.ly/shouldievacuate, decide NOW if your home or condo is safe to shelter in during #hurricanedouglas. If it is not safe, talk to family... or friends that may have a safer home that you can stay in. The list of available shelters will be published tomorrow, but use the time between now and then to find friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers that you can shelter with, instead. Only choose to evacuate to a hurricane shelter as a LAST RESORT. Visit bit.ly/hurricanedouglas for more info.
