May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii Nei

Not that Hawaiians need an excuse to wear lei, but Lei Day is when the crazy leis come out everywhere! There's a Lei Day parade, and a Lei Day Queen, and all sorts of festivals. 

This week was also the annual SPAMJAM, which needs no explanation. Along with the Gilroy Garlic Festival, the SPAMJAM is listed among the world's most bizarre food events. Check it out -  Bizarre Food

You'd be surprised how many people turn out to celebrate SPAM.

And now.... pretty pictures of lei....

No faux flower lei on Lei Day. The assortment of fresh flowers is magnificent!

Nothing cuter than keiki dressed up in traditional garb

And all around the state, statues of King Kamehameha are strung with The World's Longest Lei...
