Tips & Advice

  • Park at Nanakuli High & Intermediate School and take the event shuttle to 6th Road, since the buses run for the whole event.
  • Nānākuli Avenue closes to traffic earlier in the day, so follow the marked alternate routes if you're driving around the homestead.
  • Bring the kids with a parent or guardian early in the evening, because the Operation Blue Light Christmas gift booth closes well before the rest of the event.
  • Leave pets and alcohol at home, because this is a drug- and alcohol-free event and HPD and event security are on hand the whole time.
  • Park neatly at the school and pick up your opala, since the school is lending its grounds for public event parking.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Operation Blue Light Christmas gift booth for kids with a parent or guardian, presented by Nanaikapono Protestant Church and HPD District 8, during the first part of the evening only
