Honolulu Pride Parade 2026 (17 Oct 2026)

Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

RPCVHI has registered to participate in the Honolulu Pride Parade on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026.

Participation in the annual Honolulu Pride Parade promotes the third goal of Peace Corps while also recognizing Peace Corps Volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life.

RPCVHI will decorate a car with world flags. RPCVHI would like to have 15 to 20 volunteers walk in the parade; walkers are encouraged to wear a Peace Corps shirt. * RPCVs may bring friends and family to participate in the parade. RPCVHI will have "proud to serve" signs that RPCVS can carry if they want.

The parade begins on Magic Island at about 3 pm on Saturday, Oct. 17 and ends at Kapiolani Park. The parade route is about a 3-mile walk from Magic Island down Kalākaua Avenue to Kapiolani Park. The number of floats in the parade, and the location of the RPCVHI Float will determine the exact time RPCVHI will begin marching in the parade.

Logistics:

Carpooling is highly recommended as parking at the beginning of the parade is limited. AND parking at the end of the parade at the Kapiolani Park/near the Waikiki Shell will be limited.
Parade participants should be dropped off at the Magic Island start by 2:00 pm.

Register here to participate in the parade.

More information will be available closer to the event date.
