May Day - 05/01/2015

It's the 88th annual May Day festival at Kapiolani Park and Aloha Friday all at once. I took off the day from work to go because I really really like seeing all the colors I find from the leis on display. There's always a long line when the exhibit first opens at 1pm but after the initial crowd goes thru it'a a breeze to get thru to see all the rainbow colors of flowers and also ribbon leis on display. After checking my photos, I didn't realize I took so many pics.
The grand prize winner gets a special display. 
This was one of my favorite photos from the pics I took.
There are so many colors in the leis.. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.. every color of the rainbow.


Even a white and silver one too..

The coronation of the May Day queen was held in a ceremony at the band stand just before noon.
They have lei make and take.

There's a category for haku leis.
I love going around the demo tables where they have flowers laying on the table.

Can't wait for next year's displays..

Nice flower shots! The line to see the lei was so long I didn't want to spend all my time standing in line. Cute dog too.
