Facts About Aloha Festivals: Aloha Festival was first organized as
"Aloha Week" by a businessman, Harry Nordmark in 1947. He had a concept of
an "aloha" celebration, as to keep Hawaiian culture alive after War World
II.
This event involves all 6 islands: O'ahu, Big Island of Hawai'i, Maui,
Moloka'i, Lana'i and Kaua'i. Ni'ihau and Kaho'olawe did not take part in
this celebration. Distinctive colors for each island's horse riders (pa'u) will be introduced in the photos. |
