 The Merrie Monarch Festival is a week-long cultural event held annually in Hilo on the Big Island (Hawaii). The competition is scheduled from April 8th to April 10th, 2010. Festivities start on Easter Sunday and culminate with the hula competition events at Edith Kanaka'ole Tennis Stadium - Miss Aloha Hula on Thursday, Hula Kahiko on Friday, and Hula 'Auana on Saturday. The Merrie Monarch Festival is committed to: 1) Perpetuating the traditional culture of the Hawaiian people; 2) Developing and augmenting a living knowledge of Hawaiian arts and crafts through workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions and performances of the highest quality and authenticity; 3) Reaching those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate; and, 4) Enriching the future lives of all of Hawaii's children. In preparation of the Merrie Monarch Festival, hula studios and instructors in Hawaii and on the U.S. Mainland hold classes, workshops, and seminars throughout the year to teach the art of hula, the meaning of Hawaiian chants and songs, the Hawaiian language, the making of Hawaiian clothing and crafts, and the history of the Hawaiian people.

 Start off your weekend with a bang! Each Friday evening the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on a free firework show on Waikiki Beach. The firework show begins at 7:45 PM and lasts for about ten minutes. You can view the firework show almost anywhere from Ala Moana or Waikiki, but the closes views are from the beach in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
