It was a joy to watch the performers from Japan entertain us with their culture as well as embrace hula. Many of them shared what an honor it is to perform hula here in Hawaii. This festival or the Japanese word Matsuri is a 3 day event and culminates with a parade. Pan-Pacific-festival.com/Aboutus.
As with many parades, other groups also participated.
Shun Wah, her friend and I got a spot facing Waikiki Beach - it was a perfect day.
Many of the hula dancers were so happy to see this lady. As you can see, I did not get a good shot of her but I presume she went to Japan to teach them hula.

You brought the festival to life, Celia!
Thanks Jalna! The participants really made it fun. Shun Wah's friend chose to sit facing the beach which was a different angle. It was good because we did not have the buildings in the background however making pictures of B Tribe was challenging with the sun in the background.
Hey C
More great shots...really interesting pix made me feel like I was there. I like the 1st shot of the 2 guys jumping rope backwards.
