The royal society annually observes the day with reverence paying special attention to the significance of Kamehameha’s role in Hawaiian history.

The march down Kaahumanu Avenue is a procession as opposed to the celebratory parades held across the state.

The march begins at 9 a.m. at the main entrance of Maui Community College, with the procession to head in the Paia bound direction, crossing the Kahului Beach Road Intersection, and ending at Ho’aloha park.

Our crews were on hand during the 2008 event and captured the preceding footage.
