How would you like to volunteer for the Honolulu Festival Parade?
 The people of Hawaii are known for giving. The aloha spirit shines. Each year as the Honolulu Festival approaches there are hundreds of residents who volunteer through our website to help with the Festival. These volunteers include students, adults with regular jobs, families, Honolulu Festival Foundation members’ families and their friends. It is amazing how this circle of volunteers interested in cultural exchange continues to expand each year.
There is much to do, especially on Parade Day. The Hawaii volunteers, dressed up in their Honolulu Festival Happi (Happy Coats), T-shirts and hachimaki (headbands) begin to mingle at the starting point of the parade. The festive mood of the celebration escalates. It is quite contagious! So contagious that many volunteers get hooked and return each year.
 The Honolulu Festival Foundation, as a token of their appreciation, passes out meal certificates from McDonalds to all volunteers. Each adult volunteer will
receive a Happi coat. Children volunteers will receive Honolulu
Festival logo T-shirts. They help carry the beautiful mikoshi from various parts of Japan, pull the festive carts, accompany the bands, carry the banners that introduce each performance and much more. The volunteers and performers from all over the Pacific Rim are unified as one. Now that’s Pacific Harmony.
