For 76 years, the Kailua Independence Day Parade has brought our community together in a joyful celebration of freedom, unity, and local pride. Each year on the Fourth of July, Kainalu Drive comes alive with the sights and sounds of marching bands, decorated floats, keiki smiles, and generations of families lining the street in celebration.
What began as a small town tradition has grown into a beloved Windward Oʻahu event—an enduring symbol of the values that make Kailua special. It’s more than a parade; it’s a reflection of who we are: a community that shows up, stands together, and celebrates with heart.

As we honor our 76th year, we invite you to be part of this incredible legacy. Whether you march, volunteer, sponsor, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence helps keep this tradition strong for years to come.
