In commemoration of King Kamehameha who united the
Hawaiian islands. This year each island was
represented by the traditional Pa'u riders, but also a float
covered in flowers and greens with many carrying musicians
and dancers. The women riders wear pa'u or long skirts
of 12 yards of satin tied in place to cover their clothes,
following a tradition that began after Kamehameha the Great
received a gift of horses, and faded out with the arrival of
cars in the early 1900s.
