Bed race starts with parade

The Honolulu International Bed Race Festival kicks off Saturday with a parade that starts at Fort DeRussy and trots down Kalakaua Avenue to Kapiolani Park. But the races don't begin until Sunday. The competition begins at the park at 10 a.m. but if pushing a bed isn't your bag, there will be lots of other things going on.

For the children there will be a carnival game area and entertainment. For adults there will be performances by the Peter Moon Band, Brother Noland, Kapena, Posse on a Mission and others.

And, of course, there will be food.
