As the final hours of 2023 fade into 2024, we want to wish you a Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! That’s the Hawaiian way of saying Happy New Year.

Hawaii really knows how to celebrate holidays and celebrating the new year is no exception. Here’s a summary of the bigger events and public Fireworks shows in Hawaii to welcome in 2024.

Oahu

There are several fantastic fireworks shows open to the public:

• Waikiki Beach hosts their annual fireworks show.
• Wai Kai in the Ewa Beach area hosts entertainment and a fireworks show. This is an exciting, new event.
• Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore hosts a soiree and midnight fireworks, which is complimentary for their resort guests. Non-resort guests can participate for a fee.
• Per KHON2, Ko Olina is hosting fireworks. Parking is limited, so these fireworks shows are not openly advertised.
