The Kailua Village Parade Committee is a volunteer group building community through parades. Parades are for everyone! Sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Kona.

We encourage everyone to participate as a volunteer, donor, participant and or spectator. Enjoy one of the best parades in town. Our Annual Independence Day parade is on 4th of July and is concluded with a fantastic fireworks show over the Kailua Kona Bay area. Our Annual Christmas parade is enjoyed by thousands and includes a visit by Santa himself every 2nd Saturday in December.
