Aloha, kākou! As Mother’s Day approaches on Oahu, our island community is buzzing with excitement and heartfelt celebrations. This year, we’re embracing new and joyous ways to honor our māmā across the island, connecting traditions with some of the most anticipated events of the season.
If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate, why not join the Mother’s Day Walk/Run at Ala Moana Beach Park? It’s a chance not just to enjoy our beautiful scenery but also to participate in a healthy activity with your mom, setting the pace for a day filled with aloha.
For those who delight in the arts, the Honolulu Museum of Art is hosting a special Mother’s Day brunch. Imagine treating your mom to a day surrounded by inspiring artwork and a delicious meal — a perfect blend of culture and cuisine that’s sure to make her feel cherished.
And let’s not forget about the traditional lei. This year, local artisans are taking it a step further by offering workshops where you can learn to create your own lei po’o (head lei). These workshops are a fantastic opportunity to learn a cherished cultural craft while spending quality time with your mother.
As we celebrate this special day, remember that the greatest gift we can offer is our time and recognition of the nurturing love our mothers give us. From sunrise walks on the beach to a tranquil afternoon in a gallery, Oahu offers countless ways to make this Mother’s Day unforgettable. Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful makuahine out there!
