Celebrate Kodomo-no-hi, or Boys’ Day, from 10 a.m. to noon May 5 at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center in Kahului.

This annual event will feature carp-fish crafts, a special meet-and-greet with Captain America and Star Wars Jedi characters, family entertainment and door prizes. The first 200 keiki will receive balloons.

“Boys’ Day is a popular QKC annual tradition,” says Marketing Director Toni Rojas. “Bring your entire family down for a fun-filled morning of activities.”

This holiday was originally brought to the islands by Japanese immigrants. The carp fish is a symbol of strength and success. Hawaii adopted this special occasion, and welcomes all ethnicities to join in this celebration of respect for children’s personalities and their happiness.
