King Kamehameha Day
King Kamehameha Day, a pretty big deal in Hawaii, falls on June 11 and celebrates the accomplishments of “Kamehameha the Great.” He’s credited with uniting the Hawaiian Islands in 1810. A highly revered leader, Kamehameha is honored each year with numerous celebrations across the islands. Downtown Honolulu hosts one such celebration, where hundreds of leis, at least 30 feet long, are draped over the a 15-foot statue of the celebrated ruler. Other celebrations include parades, a plethora of floral arrangements and, of course, the traditional Hawaiian hula.
WHEN IS KING KAMEHAMEHA DAY 2021?
Kamehameha the Great’ is celebrated by Hawaiians on King Kamehameha Day on June 11.
HISTORY OF KING KAMEHAMEHA DAY
Kamehameha the Great was the Hawaiian conqueror and king who founded the Kamehameha dynasty and united the Hawaiian Islands under one kingdom.
Kamehameha was born in Kohala, Hawaii in 1758. After Kalaniʻōpuʻu’s death in 1782, Hawaii was divided under two ruling leaders — his son, Kīwalaʻō, and his nephew, Kamehameha.
The two went into battle for total control of the islands, with Kamehameha emerging victorious. He went on to take over most of the surrounding territories as well. Kamehameha eventually succeeded in becoming King of all the Hawaiian islands.
King Kamehameha I was born into Hawaiian royalty. There were many prophetic signs that foresaw him becoming a great king, including the fact that his birth was around the time when Hailey’s Comet shot through the Hawaiian night skies in 1758. This led to Kamehameha being hidden away for years, to protect him from opposing clans who saw him as a potential threat.
Eventually, Kamehameha returned and started his training with King Kalaniʻōpuʻu’u, his uncle and then ruler of the Hawaiian Islands. Such was Kamehameha’s strength that he could lift the Naha Stone, which weighs 2.5 tons! This incident fulfilled a prophecy that said a great man who will unite the islands will be able to lift the stone. Kamehameha’s uncle also introduced him to English explorer James Cook aboard his ship, the HMS Discovery. In 1779, Cook was killed in a battle with Kamehameha.
After King Kalaniʻōpuʻu’u died in 1782, Kamehameha inherited the island’s war god, Kuka’ilimoku, while his uncle’s own son, Kīwalaʻō, was given control of the island. The two clashed and went head-on against each other in battle, in which Kamehameha triumphed and took control over the island. He also took Keōpūolani, Kīwalaʻō’s daughter, as his wife and later had several other wives.
After coming into power, Kamehameha became acquainted with foreign allies like John Young and Isaac Davis. With their help, he attacked Maui in 1790. They also served as his advisors for many years. Using these relationships, Kamehameha traded Hawaii’s sought-after sandalwood in exchange for Western weapons. Equipped with this superior firepower, he and his army were able to take over most of the islands. By 1810, King Kamehameha became the first leader to rule over all the Hawaiian Islands.
Kamehameha remained in power until his death in 1819. Other than his conquering of the islands, his reign was a progressive one for Hawaii. His governing practice followed the ancient rules and laws of kapu. He also established new laws like ‘Kānāwai Māmalahoe,’ which protected travelers as well as those who were defenseless. A refined version of this principle also became a part of the Hawaiian state constitution in 1978.
Kamehameha’s son Liholiho was the successor to the throne and took on the title of Kamehameha II. He died five years later and was succeeded by his brother Kauikeaouli, who took the throne as Kamehameha III.

Ceremonial parades showcasing Hawaiian culture are performed.
Strings of flowers are stitched by volunteers and the members of the royal societies. These flower decorations are carefully carried by city workers in Honolulu who are lifted with a bucket truck to place on the statues of King Kamehameha. The flower leis are placed only over the outstretched arm of the king’s statue. The Annual King Kamehameha Celebration Floral Parade takes place in Waikiki. This is a magnificent display of Hawaiian culture for all, and with its dazzling pageantry and colorful displays, it is a true feast for the eyes.

Craft your own lei
It's June, the weather is nice (in most spots) and flowers are blooming. Why not honor King Kamehameha at home? May be tough to knock out a 30-footer in a day, but a nice string of flowers couldn't hurt your mood.

A fun history lesson
Not everyone realizes that the beautiful islands were once in conflict with each other. As the first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii, King Kamehameha united the islands and set up trade with Europe and the U.S. Hawaii officially became the 50th US state in 1959.
His family life was — interesting
Reports tally the great king's wife count between 21 and 30 and his offspring at somewhere around 35. Was he making sure he had a solid heir in there somewhere? Smart guy.

National Making Life Beautiful Day
National Making Life Beautiful Day is celebrated on June 11 each year, and we wish it was not just one day in a year. However, it is also up to us to decide to make life beautiful every day, so to encourage such a mindset, we bring you the beautiful facts about this very special day. First and foremost, the purpose of National Making Life Beautiful Day is to celebrate those who make life beautiful for others — be it our own or a larger group of people. The truly freeing part is that you often do not even realize when or how you are creating beauty in the life of another. You could be investing in relationships, or lobbying for causes you feel strongly about, or just encouraging someone when they feel blue — these are all beautiful actions that are bound to have a ripple effect. The word beauty itself is so vast that essentially everyone deserves to be celebrated on this day, just for adding beauty to the life of at least one other person in some subjective way.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL MAKING LIFE BEAUTIFUL DAY
The inception of National Making Life Beautiful Day was on June 11, 2015, the founding anniversary of Apriori Beauty — an organic skincare and beauty products company based in Laguna Hills, California, which began in 2009. The reason behind the company’s submission for such a day to be commemorated as a national holiday was to help launch their mission to help people recognize their inner beauty, by making them feel beautiful. It then also evolved into a celebration of those who do make life beautiful for others, in a myriad of ways. One can never underestimate the beauty of making someone else feel good about themselves or love themselves a little more, so this day was founded in the hopes that this form of beauty would spread. The company’s mission statement is threefold, aiming to achieve beauty through “pure product innovation”, “building relationships” and “beauty that comes from personal success”. They also tied up with the non-profit Foundation Apriority, which supports womens’ charitable initiatives.
British Romantic poet John Keats wrote, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” and that assures us that the impact we may have on someone’s life can be a memory that brings joy to them forever. Everyone expresses things in different ways. Some may create art to make life beautiful for many, while others may add beauty by simply performing their job well, especially in the case of service providers and laborers. These beautiful people serve, empower, and lead by example, so this day needs to be a celebration of them.

Whether you want to take in the natural beauty of your surroundings or enjoy things of beauty created by others (art, music, etc.), use this day to remind yourself of all the ways in which life is beautiful, and find a way to celebrate it by adding to the beauty. Even a small compliment can fill someone’s bucket, so go as small or big as you want (like donating to a beautiful cause).
