Please note on the image there is a route change and a road closure through the town center (Mamalahoa Highway)—only emergency vehicles will be permitted through. This year's parade reverts back to its previous format, where spectators line the streets while festive vehicles pass by.

The month of November isn’t only about the Thank

The month of November isn’t only about the Thanksgiving holiday, but another little-known holiday is also celebrated during this month. Very soon, Hawaiian flags will begin to adorn schools, universities, community spaces, and even Facebook posts. It is Lā Kūʻokoʻa!

“Lā Kūʻokoʻa is a kingdom holiday that was first celebrated in 1843 to commemorate Hawaiʻi’s sovereignty and independence. That was the year when the United States, Britain, and France officially recognized Hawaiian independence due to the efforts of the kingdom’s first diplomat Timoteo Haʻalilio and his associate William Richards. Though Haʻalilio passed away on the return voyage to Hawaiʻi, they were successful in their mission, and the independence of Hawaiʻi was celebrated for the next five decades.

Though the celebration fell out of much of the public consciousness after the overthrow and “annexation” of Hawaiʻi, recent years have brought renewed attention to the kingdom holiday. Lā Kūʻokoʻa is being celebrated again throughout Hawaiʻi nei, at schools, universities, and in different communities.“ - www.kanaeokana.net

The next time November 28 rolls around, get out your Hawaiian flag and celebrate our kūʻokoʻa! Better yet, come visit us at Kamuela Inn, take a selfie with our flag, and tag us on both Facebook and Instagram; don’t forget the hashtags #kamuelainn #lakuokoa

Happy Thanksgiving from our ‘Ohana to Yours 🧡
