4th of July Celebrations Hawaii

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. It’s also one of my favorite BBQ holidays and most people would agree with me.

This year the 4^th is on a Wednesday so throwing the traditional Hawaiian party or Luau is going to be tricky. Many people I know plan on celebrating the 4^th on the day of, as well as the weekend before (and yes, I will be wearing my 4th of July Hawaiian shirt) and of course you will find yourself starting the holiday weekend in June, which in my opinion will feel sort of odd to some. But who really cares, you still get a day off work as well as a short, fragmented work week.
 
I wear Wave Shoppe Hawaiian shirts every day and can cook out on the grill whenever I like, so having my holiday weekend start in a different month is no big deal. While I am thinking about it, if you don’t have a new Hawaiian shirt for the weekend you may want to check out Wave Shoppe’s current holiday promotion and save yourself some money and time by shopping online.

 If you’re going to be visiting the Hawaiian islands during the 4^th of July you’re in for a real treat as all of the Hawaiian Islands celebrate the 4^th of July with fireworks and in multiple locations on each island.  The listings below link to Hawaii for visitors website.
