☆Aloha Festival Speech☆

I would like to introduce about contents of Aloha festival. The main event is floral parade. It is very colorful. The roles of royal family and princess of each islands parade the street with many attendant children. Most attractive thing is parade of women who are called Pa'u Rider. In the old days, when women rode a hose, they wore long skirt called Pa'u. So it is called Pa'u Rider. But their running is very first and dynamic, so some women plunge into houses. And also we can watch the girls dancing hula. It is very cute.

Next I would like to tell you about ukulele contest. Speaking of Hawaiian instrument, ukulele is very famous. Do you know the meaning of ukulele? It is jumping flea in Hawaiian. It means from a nickname of popular performer in those days and it shows the state of moving bustling fingers on small instrument. And ukulele contest is competing ability of ukulele. Amateur performers from each place take part in the contest for prize. It is an event to celebrate traditional culture of　Hawaii with wonderful timbre of ukulele.
