Kapolei City Lights Parade

4-stars because I feel festive at the moment. Also because it's a very short walk for us to the parade & to the after-parade events at the Kapolei Hale.But to be honest, the parade itself is pretty corny. Trucks with strings of lights thrown on them, etc. some decked out floats would be cool! Heck, lots of parade participants just cruise their company vehicle down Kap Pkway... what is this, a holiday or advertisement parade?Lastly, after experiencing the after-parade events here for a 3rd year, it amazes me the organizers haven't drawn up a new plan to handle the massive crowd. It is craaaazy packed at the Hale area afterward....nuff said.

This is our second year coming to this parade. They decorate all kinds of vehicles with lights and pass out candy to the kids. Expert tips... Come early (like 4:30-5) to get a good seat otherwise you'll be walking a while to find a place to camp out. Bring your chair and maybe some dinner to munch on while you are waiting for the parade to start. Make sure to bring something your kids can carry all their candy in!Have fun!

This event was AMAZING !!! My daughter was able to interact and play with other kids around , everyone was friendly and the SHOW .... my goodness it was the bomb we enjoyed the music , the trucks , the characters omg !!! I'd definitely recommend dropping by if it's happening while on the island
