Lei Day: Hawaii’s Most Fragrant Celebration 🌺

Lei Day in Hawaii is not just another holiday—it's a fragrant, colorful celebration of Hawaiian culture that blossoms every May 1st. This cherished tradition began in 1927 when poet and writer Don Blanding suggested setting aside a day to appreciate the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. Subsequently, journalist Grace Tower Warren proposed May 1st as the perfect date, coining the now-famous phrase: "May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii."
