Kamehameha parade gets fee waivers, green light


The Advertiser reports that the Kamehameha Day parade will go on. "Even before city officials chose yesterday to waive the cost of police traffic control and save this year's King Kamehameha Floral Parade, community donors had offered to pay for the $10,000 service. 'It proves a point,' said B.J. Allen, arts and programs specialist for the celebration commission. 'People are interested and they care about their traditions and they want to see this continue.' ... The parade was canceled only once in its long history — during World War II. In recent years, it has drawn nearly 100,000 people along its 4-mile route from downtown to Kapi'olani Park. This year, the parade will feature 3,000 marchers, 50 vehicles, six marching bands, six floats and five horse units."
