The County of Hawai\u02bbi issued this news release on Monday, promoting the 27th annual event honoring Queen Lili\u02bbuokalani:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Queen Lili\u2018uokalani (Sept. 2, 1838-Nov. 11, 1917) was the only queen regnant and the last sovereign monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The festival celebrates the queen\u2019s birthday and pays tribute to the historical significance of Lili\u2018uokalani Gardens.<\/p>\n

The event will include music, hula, arts, crafts, food, demonstrations, children\u2019s games, and cultural activities. Hundreds of dancers will perform a mass hula as floral blossoms are dropped from a helicopter provided by the Hawai\u2018i Fire Department. Christy Lassiter, Taishoji Taiko, and the Brown Boys will provide entertainment throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Overflow public parking will be available at Aunty Sally Kaleohano\u2019s L\u016b\u02bbau Hale parking lot, and Hawai\u02bbi County Economic Opportunity Council (HCEOC) will provide free shuttle services to the festival. Riders will need to provide their own car seats for keiki in compliance with current safety requirements; no riders will be allowed on laps. Car seats will be held at the shuttle stop location by staff until families make the return trip.<\/p>\n
