Rodeos, rubber ducks and fireworks await! Come celebrate the 4th of July on the Big Island!
Starting at 9 a.m. on the 4th you can check out the 61st Annual Parker Ranch Rodeo and Horse Races in Waimae. General admission for this event is $12.
In Kailua Village the 4th of July Parade starts at 6 pm and is followed by fireworks (of course) over Kailua Bay. It’s a beautiful show every year!
If you are in the Hilo area join the festivities at Hilo Bay with fireworks starting at 8pm and accompanied by a live band.
And one of my favorite events the annual Grand Waikoloa Rubber Duck Race! You can find more information at the kingshops.com site. It’s a charity event supporting the United Cerebral Palsy Association. You can adopt your own duck on-line and there are always great prizes from local businesses.
