It happens every year on Memorial Day, which is an appropriate day to give prayers for those who have passed and for a peaceful future for the remaining. Like Waikiki's annual Halloween Parade, Honolulu's rough equivalent of Mardi Gras but with a little bit less flashing of nipples, this is one of the must-go events that they say you should experience at least once while living on Oahu.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about what looks like it could be an environmental catastrophe in the making. Magic Island does have a reef that not only blocks the waves but also tends to trap things (and keep out sharks), so maybe they're able to grab them all up before they kill a sea turtle or some hapless migratory bird.

UPDATE:
It took two years, but I finally made it.
