I admit it: when I heard about the 6th annual Waikiki Spam Jam, I pictured an angry mob of people complaining about the amount of junk in their email boxes. Au contraire, fellow travelers…

Spam Jam actually celebrates Hawaii’s love for that iconic canned meat product (Hawaii consumes almost seven million cans of Spam every year!). Last year’s festivities attracted over 20,000 people. This year’s event run 4 pm to 10 pm on Saturday, May 3. There’s a canned food drive, live entertainment, and a Mr./Ms. Spam Hawaii contest. Sounds like fun!

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.
