[ WEEKEND SCENE ]
Island-style fun as seen
through the camera’s eye
Matsuri show
The 25th annual parade marches
down Kalakaua Avenue
Groups of all ages took part in the 25th annual Matsuri in Hawaii parade yesterday in Waikiki. Members of the Hawaii Panraku Club of Hawaii, left, performed a traditional Okinawan song as they made their way down Kalakaua Avenue.
Young island visitors were an impromptu addition to the ranks of the Tamaito-Kai dancers from Japan.
Bearing the good-luck charm called the "matoi," members of Risshho Kosei-Kai of Hawaii and Karatsu, Japan, took turns carrying it down Kalakaua Avenue.
Abu Tuisavura cheered as he joined Oshioni Hozonkai as they bore a dragon to scare away evil spirits.
Dancers from Sapporo Hyttoko Odori broke into an unplanned swing dance routine as they made their way down the parade route.
