JULY ~ Billfish Tournament Parade

Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament takes place ever summer here. It's a pretty huge event that has been going on for over half a century and big money prizes to be won. One of the traditional activities tied to the tournament is the parade where the community is invited to join in the celebration. Here's the website where updates get posted http://hibtfishing.com/ . Fishing teams come from all over the world to compete and also participate in the parade. Warning......watch out for flying candy! We scored some pretty tasty ones and also some snacks we have no idea what they are as I can't read Japanese! Recommendations anytime you go to watch a parade in Kona: bring a beach chair, find a shady spot, a cold drink (or an ice cream cone) and chill-lax!
