Waikiki Holiday Parade

Celebrate Thanksgiving weekend on O'ahu at the annual Waikiki Holiday Parade. The event honors Pearl Harbor survivors, veterans and military families ahead of the anniversary of the December 7, 1941 attack. The parade begins near Fort DeRussy and travels along Kalakaua Avenue before ending at Kapiolani Park. Visitors can expect marching bands, military units, entertainers, and community groups along the torch-lit route through Waikiki. The parade begins at 7 p.m. and draws thousands of spectators each year, making it one of Waikiki’s major holiday-season traditions.
