The most common festivities on Lei Day are hula, lei making demonstrations and contests, and the crowning of the Lei Queen and her court.
Each island has its own Lei, traditional to each made with flowers, fruit and vines found on that island. Hawaii’s Lei is the Lehua, made from blossoms of ‘Ohi’, a Lehua tree which grows on the slopes of the Volcano.
History
Officially made a holiday in 1929, and continues to date. The record for the world’s longest Lei was set at the 81st celebration of Lei Day in 2008. Unofficially the Lei measured more than a mile in length.
Though late made Leis today. We had fun celebrating "Lei Day".
