“May Day is Lei Day in Hawai‘i” is a common phrase, said every year on the first day of May. The day and phrase, which were conceptualized in the late 1920s, is symbolic of the rich Hawaiian tradition of making, giving, and receiving a lei. What makes lei day so special, among other things, is its uniqueness to our Islands and the feelings of warmth and aloha it evokes.
