SATURDAY SCOOPS
Grab seat, shade for weekend parades

 •  Jammin' at water park

Advertiser Staff

If you love parades (and who, besides beleaguered Waikiki residents, doesn't?), this is the weekend you've been waiting for. Power up those digital cameras because:

  • Today's King Kamehameha Celebration floral parade will feature pa'u riders, floats, marching bands and more. It begins at 9:30 a.m. at King and Richards streets downtown, travels along King Street, Punchbowl, Ala Moana and Kalakaua, and ends at Kapi'olani Park.

  • Tomorrow's Pan-Pacific Matsuri in Hawaii grand parade takes a simpler route, but is no less colorful, along Kalakaua Avenue from Fort DeRussy to Kapi'olani Park. It begins at 5 p.m. and features more than 1,000 marchers and floats from Japan.
