The 2008 Merrie Monarch Festival ended with enthusiastic excitement. There was a parade down Kamehameha avenue, lots and lots of Hula, and Hilo was the center of attention once again.

You head to Hilo just after Easter week to Edith Kanaka'ole Stadium. There the competition begins with Hula Kahiko (Ancient Hula) and then Hula Auana (Modern Hula). There is a parade that runs threw Hilo that everyone enjoys.
Floats
Tractor trailers tow the elaborately decorated floats threw the parade route.
The Float banner reads: "The Hawaiian Language Shall Live"
