The Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade Committee was commissioned to organize the official parade to take place each year on December 7th to
commemorate the anniversary of the invasion of Pearl Harbor.
Marching bands are an important part of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, and bands from the continental U.S. as well as the Hawaiian islands are invited. Last year's
parade featured marching bands from nine states.
The parade has been recognized by numerous veterans associations, community organizations, military and government officials
and provides participants and spectators an opportunity to salute those men and women who have and continue to sacrifice for our nation. The
organizing committee members have been selected from a variety of backgrounds and experience in order to provide the highest quality program.
In addition to marching bands, this tribute to veterans and armed forces features performing groups, associations, dignitaries, military groups and officials
joining together to share the Spirit of America with the citizens and visitors of Hawaii.
The parade route takes bands from historic Fort DeRussy, through the scenic streets of Waikiki, to Kapiolani Park at the foot of Diamond Head Crater.
