Windward Residents To Preside Over Lei Day Celebration
The Honolulu Depart- ment of Parks and Recre- ation recently welcomed and congratulated the members of this year’s Lei Court, which includes Windward O‘ahu residents. Among them are queen Leilani Kūpahu-Marino Kahoʻāno, first princess Melodie Lynn Leinaʻala Naluaʻi Vega and princess Charlene Kapualani Kauhane Harano.
Over time, more and more people began to wear lei on May 1, and thus began the tradition of “May Day is Lei Day in Hawai‘i.”
Kahoʻāno and her court will preside over the Annual Lei Day Celebration festiv- ities, and will be the city’s ambassadors of aloha at a variety of public events. The Lei Day Celebration will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on May 1 at Kapi‘olani Park. Along with Hawaiian enter- tainment, demonstrations and exhibits, the celebration event will feature a lei con- test exhibit showcasing craft- ed lei in a variety of colors and methods.
A fellow member of the court, Vega is a Kāne‘ohe resident who has utilized her studies in childcare and edu- cation throughout her career, notably working as a travel- ing preschool teacher with Kamehameha Schools and as the chief early education of- ficer at the Keiki O Ka ‘Āina Family Learning Centers.
The first Lei Day was cel- ebrated on May 1, 1927 with a few people wearing lei in downtown Honolulu. Over time, more and more people began to wear lei on May 1, and thus began the tradition of “May Day is Lei Day in Hawai‘i.” The first lei queen, Nina Bowman, was crowned by Honolulu Mayor Charles Arnold in 1928.
Kahoʻāno hails from Waimānalo and is pursuing an advanced nursing degree from University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa with decades of prior nursing experience. She states that she is partic- ularly enthusiastic about in- corporating hula and cultural practices into medical care at every stage of life. Kahoʻā- no has been instrumental in launching several medical foundations — including Caring for Hawai‘i Neonates — while serving as a cultural advisor for others.
A student of hula from a young age, Vega enjoys mak- ing lei from napua grown in her garden, along with spending time in the ocean, traveling, reading, writing and enjoying music, espe- cially since she comes from a musically inclined family. This year she and her hus- band, Robert, are celebrating their 45th anniversary, (they were high school sweet- hearts). They are parents of
