Bring your friends and family for a festive Christmas parade along Kuikini Highway and Alii Drive and let's kick off the holidays in Kona! 

Applications for parade floats and community groups are being accepted now. Go to www.paradesinKona.com to apply and pay if you are a commercial float. Please sign up by December 7th and be prepared to include a description. 

The theme this year is Magical Storybook Christmas.  Judges will be on hand to choose who is the best community and commercial float! 

Everyone is encouraged to bring canned food and elves will be collecting along the parade route to benefit the Hawaii Island Food Bank!
