Hawaii Holidays
Ever wondered abut Hawaiian holidays? Do we in fact, celebrate along with the mainland?
Besides recognizing all of the US national holidays (with the exception of Columbus Day), Hawaii also observes three unique state holidays. These days are Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day, King Kamehameha I Day and Admissions Day. On these observed holidays, most banks and state agencies are closed.
Because Hawaii is such a melting pot of cultures, there are a handful of other holidays that are celebrated “unofficially” by residents of Hawaii. The most popular of these holidays are: May Day or “Lei Day,” Boy’s Day, Girl’s Day and Chinese New Year.
