​Kamehameha Day – Honoring a Unifying Chief and Hawaiian Legacy
Kamehameha Day, observed every year on June 11, is a state holiday in Hawaiʻi that honors King Kamehameha I, the chief who united the Hawaiian Islands into one kingdom in 1810. His leadership laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi and preserved the islands’ independence during a time of global change.

King Kamehameha I (c. 1758–1819), also known as Kamehameha the Great, is remembered for his strength, wisdom, and diplomatic skill.
Kamehameha Day is celebrated across Hawaiʻi with traditions that honor the aliʻi (chiefs), culture, and values of old Hawaiʻi:

• Floral parades featuring paʻu riders on horseback representing each island
• Lei draping ceremonies on Kamehameha statues in Honolulu, Hilo, and Washington, D.C.
• Cultural festivals with music, food, storytelling, and traditional crafts
• Community gatherings that reflect pride in Hawaiian identity and history
• Hula holds a special place in Kamehameha Day celebrations. It’s not only a performance but a way to tell stories, honor ancestors, and preserve Hawaiian culture.
