May Day in HawaiiPosted by: Stuart Yoshida in General News on Apr 25, 2010 |

If you're lucky enough to be in Hawaii on May 1st, you'll get to experience "May Day" in Hawaii. It's a celebration of the "Lei" culture that is at the core of what it means to be a kama'aina. You get to see lots of beautiful hand-crafted leis that are temporal works of art. They are made of all types of fresh flowers and plants woven into the signature circle or open configuration leis. There's even a song written just after this holiday was conceived called "May Day is Lei Day." This year is the 83rd celebration of the holiday, and I hope to be there for the 84th annual event. (We're trying to arrange a "Book 'em Danno" trip to the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Association convention in Waikiki next year.)
If you have a hankering for a fresh flower lei, you can visit the "Little Grass Shack" on Santa Fe Drive in Denver.
