Folks from our Creative Services team headed to the annual #MerrieMonarch craft fair 🎨🌺 (like everyone else!) to check out local vendors, think about ways we can expand our Hawaiʻi national park visitor center store offerings 🛍️, and soak up the culture and vibe of Hilo at this special time.

Good morning! Today is the Merrie Monarch Royal Parade. The parade features paʻu riders, hālau hula, floats, and marching bands, celebrating Hawaiian culture and the spirit of aloha.

Expect sunny skies with a high near 86°F.

I “Kim Taylor Reece’d” this screenshot of the live stream on my phone lol. Enjoying powerful Hula Kahiko performances at the Merrie Monarch Festival. Mind blowing that this is happening just 6 miles away. #Hawaii #MerrieMonarch

Remembering my friend Matthew Kamelamela during this Merrie Monarch week. He was always eager to demonstrate the art of hula to the next generation. He left us much too young back in 2017. #MerrieMonarch #Hawaii

This year’s Ho’ike at the #MerrieMonarch was really special!

#Mexico sent a large group. They performed both indigenous and Spanish colonial dances. Aotearoa also came, and halau from many other places.
