Cost increase may cancel Kamehameha parade
The
Advertiser
reports
that "Organizers of the annual King Kamehameha
Floral Parade, one of the state's oldest and grandest parades, may have to
cancel this year's event because they cannot pay for the traffic-control
services once provided free by the city." The article notes that the parade "is
a visually stunning event that honors Hawaiian culture, tradition and, of
course, King Kamehameha. This year, the parade will feature 3,000 marchers, 50
vehicles, six marching bands, 15 floats and 15 horse units."
