Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association | 2011 Festival of Lights Boat Parade

The Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association once again held another fantastic "Festival of Lights" Christmas Boat Parade! This is the 15th year that the Association has sponsored this event, considered one of the most popular holiday attraction for East Oahu.

Families and friends gathered around the shopping centers to watch vessels brightly decorated with holiday blinking lights as they paraded around the Marina waterways and twice in front of the judges. By the start of the parade, the parking lots were full, and spectators were lined up along the Kalanianaole Hwy bridge.

Mahalo to the Christmas boat parade coordinator, Beverly Liddle, manager of the Hawaii Kai Marina. Also, thanks to our co-sponsors, Judges, Captains and their crew.
