HAWAII CHEER & DANCE FESTIVAL®

Cheerleader groups and dance teams are invited to participate in the 2011 Hawaii Cheer & Dance Festival®. It will be held on March 12, 2011, at the Hawaii Convention Center. Groups from the US Mainland, Canada, Hawaii, Asia and Europe are invited. The festival will include cheerleading and dance competitions.

The Hawaii Cheer & Dance Festival® is part of the Honolulu Festival held on the same weekend. The Honolulu Festival started 16 years ago and has grown to be the premier cultural event in Hawaii. The festival includes ethnic performances, a band and orchestra festival, a choral festival and numerous other events and exhibits at various venues throughout Honolulu. The major events are held at the Hawaii Convention Center. Over 10,000 visitors are expected.

The highlight of the Honolulu Festival is the parade held on the last day of the three-day event. Cheer and dance groups can also participate in the parade. The parade is called The Honolulu Festival – Parade of Bands®. See www.POBhawaii.com. It features marching bands, drum and bugle corps, cheer and dance groups and thousands of performers and world class floats. The parade starts at Ft. De Russy, passes through Waikiki and ends at Kapiolani Park. Over forty thousand spectators line the parade route. This parade is currently considered the best parade in the State of Hawaii.
