Hawaii Convention Center

Organizers with the Aloha festivals were a bit nervous, but are now feeling more confident the weather will cooperate for the parade to go on tomorrow along Kalakaua Avenue.

Tonight, participants are putting the final touches on their parade floats, and pa'u riders are finishing up their adornments at the Hawaii Convention Center in Waikiki.

We are so excited.

Everyone over here has worked so hard, and the participation of everyone.

What's happening?

So we're having a security and public safety expo at the Hawaii Convention Center on Saturday from between 10 o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

A great opportunity for the public to come in and learn exactly what law enforcement and first responders do.

Touch, feel the equipment.

Welcome back.
