Thursday is Kamehameha Day, a state holiday.

Here are a few highlights among the annual ceremonies, parades and other cultural celebrations paying tribute to King Kamehameha the Great, who established the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1810 and was its first monarch.

Friday

» Kamehameha statue lei-draping. The statue of Kamehameha I will be draped with lei during a ceremony set to start at 3 p.m. The King Kamehameha Celebration Commission usually obtains more than 20,000 plumeria flowers to create 30 to 40 lei, each about 30 feet long, to drape over the statue downtown. Donations of plumeria flowers and lei may be dropped off starting at 8 a.m. at the tent in front of the Kekuanaoa Building on King Street.

Saturday

» Kamehameha Day Floral Parade. The 99th annual King Kamehameha Floral Parade will start at 9 a.m. at the corner of King and Richards streets. The parade ends at Kapiolani Park. Ho‘olaule‘a festivities will follow at Kapiolani Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

» Lanikai parking restrictions. The city will use barricades in the Lanikai loop area to reduce holiday traffic congestion and prevent motorists from parking illegally next to the bike lane. Parking restrictions, which will start Thursday and continue through the weekend, aim to make the area more accessible for residents, visitors and emergency vehicles. Motorists who impede emergency responses by parking illegally could have their cars cited or towed. The city also restricted parking in Lanikai over Presidents Day and Memorial Day weekends.
