TOYS FOR TOTS PARADE


Each year following the Thanksgiving weekend, car clubs from all over the Aloha State gather to kick off the Holiday Season with a parade through Waikiki. Tourists fortunate enough to find themselves on the street on a quiet Hawaiian Sunday morning witness the spectacle of dozens of decorated cars -- from antiques to classics to hot rods -- carrying donations of toys and food from Ala Moana's Magic Island to historic Kapiolani Park.
