I was finally able to attend this year's I Love Liliha Festival because they changed it to a Sunday! It's been on Saturdays in the past and I've always been working and couldn't attend. Also, as a bonus, they moved it to Kuakini St, which is literally a hop, skip and a jump from my house. I went to the festival early (with the dreaded 100mm macro in hand, I thought I'd do a little experimenting -- big mistake!!) and I was planning on returning later on in the afternoon but it got so darn hot that I didn't want to leave my air conditioned house after lunch!
It was a very tiny festival, and for those of you who know the area, it started from here (at the intersection of Kuakini and Liliha St)
And it ended here! Hahaha! If you don't know this, Long's and Liliha Bakery are next door neighbors!
The Royal Hawaiian Band started off the festivities
There were lots of free activities for the kiddies
I was wondering what all the commotion was about over here, then I noticed it was a booth from Creations By You
You could make your own little trinket
oooh, my favorite! I was a good girl and didn't buy one.
I met up with my neighbors, here's Dustin spinning the wheel hoping to win something good...
Something tells me I should've stopped by this booth...
It got really hot and i'm sure the shave ice booth made a lot of money!
I hope they plan on keeping it on Sundays from now on!
