Picks of the Week 2
Paniolo Parade
|
June 30, 2011 | 09:18 AM With Independence Day on the horizon, let's take stock: You've got to have watermelon, the beach, some fireworks (wait—are those still legal?) and, of course, the 46th annual Fourth of July Paniolo Parade in Makawao. Because nothing screams summertime on Maui like frantically searching for parking amidst loud rodeo clothes' tassels as though it's some sort of never-ending automated car wash. Sweltering heat and an unhealthy amount of sequins aside, the parade and subsequent weekend of rodeo events are fantastic traditions a half-century in the making; and if anything, a good reason to get up early and grab some cream-filled long johns from Komoda's Bakery. (The operative word being "early" so as to avoid parking preoccupations.) This year's event theme is "Nana I Ke Kumu" which means "look to the source." Speaking of the horse's mouth, the parade starts on Baldwin Avenue (near the veterans' cemetery) and finishes on Makawao Avenue at Eddie Tam. For more information, call Theresa at 572-9565.
