Oahu Aloha Festivals: A Celebration of Hawaiian Culture

Oahu Aloha Festivals: A Month-Long Celebration of Hawaiian Culture

Honolulu, Oahu Aloha Festivals is the largest Hawaiian cultural celebration in the United States. In 1946, Aloha Festivals began as “Aloha Week,” a cultural celebration of Hawaii’s music, dance, and history intended to perpetuate the Islands’ unique traditions. A group of former Jaycees – known as the Jaycees Old-timers of Hawaii – had the vision to create a public celebration to honor Hawaii’s heritage. In time, it became a statewide tradition.

In 1991, Aloha Week became Aloha Festivals. Aloha Festivals has become a statewide celebration of Hawaiian culture with major events on the island of Oahu.
