Each year, the Festival draws thousands of new and returning spectators seeking a unique Hawaiian experience. Through educational programs and activities sponsored by the Honolulu Festival Foundation, the event successfully showcases the rich and vibrant blend of Asia, the Pacific, and Hawaiian cultures to the world. Most activities and events will take place at the Hawai’i Convention Center located near the city center, with the festival culminating with a dazzling parade down Kalakua Avenue.  The Festival offers a perfect outing for both locals and tourists.
