For those of you...
|
|
|
For those of you who have to work today, it's time to start planning your 4th of July activities as the start of the celebration begins today. Kaneohe Marine Base will have their fireworks show at 8:30pm. Aloha Tower will have their annual fireworks display starting at 9pm with lots of local music at all of the resturaunts and bars starting at 5pm. If local music and bars isn't your thing, then try Kurious Entertainment's 1 year anniversary celebration and boogie the night away at Fashion 45. Have a safe and insane start to an exciting Fourth of July celebration. And remember, as the police have warned, no alcohol and fireworks at Ala Moana. Break out the red cups!
