On an island where we import over 90% of our products, its helpful to shop locally and buy local products whenever they are available. Luckily we do have an abundance of produce to supply our island and all the other Hawaiian Islands.

Christmas Parade Time in Pahoa

_MG_8973

To say that this is a totally zany parade is an understatement. Welcome to the Pahoa Christmas parade in East Hawaii, where you wont find the typical types of floats, people and Christmas cheer everywhere else.

Here, we celebrate the unique, crazy and fun that happens to everyone in this neck of the woods and the parade, really manifests the entire spirit of this community.

 

Don’t you think this is different?

Its Time for our Annual Christmas Parade....Whopeeeeeee!




Well can you believe its time to celebrate Christmas in Pahoa, although Pahoa Punatics (da locals) consider it polictically correct to call it the Pahoa Holiday Celebration. This is to include all the different religions and nationalities in this community and boy was there a real hodge podge of participants, performers and  Punatics....what a show!


Here are some of the fun highlights...



Whats a parade without some clowns and a pony....giddy-up horsey....






OOOOh yummy its ginger bread sweets from the boys/girls club.





Have a Harry Krishna Christmas.....hummmmmmm.....










Aaaaaaw, its the little doggie christmas yappies!









Oh wow, even the mermaids are coming out to
celebrate a fun parade..





Ho`okupu – to sprout, grow, increase; To cause growth...







No one told me I have to hula hoop all the waaaay
to the end....uuuuugh!




Have a Shaka (cool) Christmas....Mommy go faster !!!






 There's always a funny moment on a parade in Pahoa town.





Howdy... Paniolo Girls wish you a big Aloooooha Christmas!







Doesn't my horsey and I look great in lots of tinsel?







Yeah I wore this for Halloween also, but I still wanted to dress up for any parade!







We're clapping for Santa...Everyone stand up, he's coming !!!







In Pahoa, Santa comes into town on an outrigger canoe festuned with lots of tropical flowers.














These tropical flowers are the real thing on these floats,

real aloha!




Thanks for the fun Holiday Parade Pahoa Town...
