Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives invites families to celebrate the holiday season with an evening of festivities and the best seats for the Honolulu City Lights Parade on Saturday, November 29, 2025, from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Now in its 38th year, Honolulu City Lights has been a beloved holiday tradition since 1987, bringing joy to generations of families with its spectacular parade and festive celebrations. The iconic Electric Light Parade, featuring brilliantly decorated city vehicles from refuse trucks to fire engines, has delighted crowds since 1990 with its creative displays and community spirit. Guests can enjoy prime parade viewing from the elevated grounds of Hawaiian Mission Houses, which sit 18 inches above King Street level, offering an excellent vantage point for this beloved holiday tradition. For just $10 per person, attendees will have access to the viewing area and can participate in family-friendly activities from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., including 19th-century games and traditional candle making. The historic houses will be open for self-guided tours during the event, giving visitors a unique opportunity to explore two of Hawaiʻi's oldest documented buildings while celebrating the season. Food will be available for purchase on-site from John’s World Famous Hawaiian Hot Dogs and Cool Beans Coffee, though guests are welcome to bring their own refreshments.
