May Day is Lei Day in Hawai'i
Join us on May 1st for a special series of four Lei Making Lessons in The Royal Grove from noon through 2 p.m.
Lei, flower garlands, are synonymous with Hawaii and hookipa (Hawaiian hospitality). Royal Hawaiian Center invites both kamaaina (locals) and malihini (guests) to fashion a lei to adorn themselves during their stay, or as a gift to a loved one to celebrate a special occasion.
