What to expect
The Narcissus Festival, presented by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii since the late 1940s, began as a Lunar New Year celebration and has grown into a spring-long festival of Chinese culture in Honolulu. Its centerpiece is the Narcissus Queen Pageant and coronation at the Hawaii Theatre, alongside Chinatown celebrations, a cultural fair, banquets, and a fashion show.

About cultural festivals
Hawaii's cultural festivals gather food, performing arts, craft, and community across a weekend or longer. Many trace to the islands' Japanese, Okinawan, and broader Asia-Pacific communities and feature taiko, hula, bon dance, and street-food booths.
Some are free block parties and some are ticketed convention-center markets. Come for the performances and stay for the food booths, craft vendors, and local-product marketplaces.
- Check admission before you go — marketplace and convention-center events may charge entry.
- Parking fills early — rideshare or transit is usually easier.
- Schedules and venues can shift year to year; confirm before you go.
