It will be held on Wednesday, May 1st, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Kapi‘olani Park near the Bandstand. Nearing one-hundred years of celebration, this tradition showcases the skill and artistry of Hawai‘i’s lei makers, while featuring fantastic local entertainment by the Royal Hawaiian Band, Ei Nei, Hōkū Zuttermeister, Ho‘okena, performances from hula hālau, and local food, craft, and lei vendors. Be sure to see the Lei Contest Exhibit that showcases some of the world’s most exquisite handcrafted lei in a variety of materials, colors, and styles. Those wishing to enter fresh flower lei for the contest must submit them between 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Lei Receiving Booth on the day of the celebration. The public will have an opportunity to experience the exhibit from 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., following the judging of the lei and the official opening of the exhibit by the Lei Court.
