Planning a trip to Oahu this spring? If you’ll be in the Honolulu area during the weekend of March 14-16, then I’d definitely plan to check out the 14th Annual Honolulu Festival. This annual event celebrates the cultures of Asia, Pacific, and Hawaii and features dance performances and art demonstrations from Japan, Australia, Tahiti, Philippines, Republic of China, Korea, Hawaii and the mainland United States.

The festival culminates on Sunday, March 16 with the Grand Parade, which starts at Lewers Street and continues along Kalakuau Avenue. Highlights of the parade include appearances by hula dancers, dance troupes from across the Pacific, Miss Hawaii, and others. There is also a craft fair showcasing crafts from around the Pacific Rim and educational programs for kids.

Sailing in Oahu

I visited the Makani Catamaran on my trip to Oahu last February and absolutely loved it! The whale sightings, the wind blowing against our skin (not to mention that drinks are included)… This video does a nice job of capturing the experience.
