Historic Kailua Village is transformed for the holidays with the addition of Kailua Kalikimaka banners and brightly colored holiday décor for the season.

Kailua Village Business Improvement District traditionally begins the festivities on the Friday following Thanksgiving with the lighting of a large Christmas tree at Emma’s Square. The tree is lit to herald the season, welcome residents and visitors, and remind them to shop, dine and buy local.  Other Kailua Kalikimaka events may include the annual Christmas Parade down Alii Drive, December's particularly festive Kokua Kailua and a special holiday concert presented by the Kailua Village Business Improvement District as their gift to the community.
