A parade and fireworks in Kailua-Kona



Independence Day is just around the corner and Kailua-Kona is gearing up to celebrate. If you will be in the area at the time, come on down. Aliʻi Drive through town will be closed to traffic to allow for the festivities. It all begins at 5:50 PM with a race for the children – a keiki run – heading out before the parade. The parade will begin at 6:00 PM proceeding through the center of town. Over 60 groups are expected to march. 

After dark the fireworks will begin at 8:00 PM. The organizers promise a spectacular display. Aliʻi Drive will remain closed to traffic to allow people to congregate and watch the fireworks which are set off on a barge in the bay.

We are fortunate in that our house looks down on the bay. So a group will gather after the parade for a barbeque and whisky tasting on our lanai. We look forward to that get-together each year.
