All of us deserve a break from work...
EN Gymnastic Club performance at Ala Moana Center stage.
The Honolulu Festival is a weekend of entertainment and educational activities aimed at promoting understanding and integration between the people of Hawaii and the Asia-Pacific region with an eclectic program of cultural events such as live music, dancing and art exhibitions.
Today was totally a really lazy Sunday!
Then, I got ready to head down to Kaka'ako Waterfront Park to check out the third annual Ukulele Picnic. Ukulele virtuosos and legends from Hawaii and Japan performed on the hilltop stage overlooking Diamond Head, Honolulu Harbor, the ocean and mountains. There was also exhibitors showing ukulele related exhibits, a wide variety of merchandise and food vendors selling really delicious food and refreshments. To read more about this picnic, check its website Ukulele Picnic in Hawaii
It was a beatiful day to be outdoors but just a little too hot for me. More photos from the picnic to share on my flickr account later tonight!
P.S: IMO, I felt this year's festivities wasn't as grand as last year...but I'm hoping next year will be BIGGER since it's MY year! ^__^
Today, the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i rang in 2011 with its New Year’s ‘Ohana Festival. This festival celebrates all things Japanese. Besides the yummilicious food, I enjoy watching the entertainment and cultural demonstrations. The ‘Ohana Festival is a day of fun and activities for the entire family.
Just in time for the sunset and some early birds reserving their spot for the boat parade.
