In Hawai`i, May Day (or LEI Day as it's called) is celebrated throughout the islands with reenactments of royal pageants and floral garlands. Kaleinani o ke Kukui and Ke Kukui Foundation recreate this joyous feeling of Aloha with the melodies of Hawaiian musicians, swaying hula, and the scent of fresh tropical flowers. Hawaiian food, a lei contest, Royal Court and raffle prizes round out this festively floral day.
