Our 2026 theme is "E Ola Mau Ka Pāʻū: Honoring the Legacy of Barbara Kamilipua Nobriga." Barbara Kamilipua Nobriga served the King Kamehameha Day Celebration Parade since 1967 as Chairwoman, Pā'ū Chair, princess, and queen, carrying the torch until her passing in April 2026. This year, we honor her lifelong dedication to preserving the tradition and artistry of pāʻū, which lives on in the parade.
We invite participants to embody the elegance, strength, and ʻike (knowledge) Barbara was known for. Join us for this celebration of life and legacy.
Join the King Kamehameha Day Celebration Parade on Saturday, June 6, 2026. We are accepting applicants from the community — march, drive, or ride with us through Historic Kailua Village!
