A First Friday, New Years Block Party!!
“The Mayor’s Inaugural Block Party”

On Friday, January 2 - 7:00pm to 10:00pm
Pauahi Street between Nuuanu Ave. and Bethel St.


(Honolulu, Hawaii, December 29, 2008) –The Arts District Merchants Association along with the Honolulu Culture and Arts District Association, and the City & County of Honolulu are co-sponsoring “The Mayor’s Inaugural Block Party to be held on Pauahi St., at 7pm between Bethel and Nuuanu, immediately following the inauguration and reception. The Second Inauguration of Mayor Mufi Hannemann will be held at the Hawaii Theatre on January 2nd, 2009 at 5:00 p.m.

• The celebration falls on the 100th anniversary of the City & County of Honolulu and the municipality’s first chief executive, Joseph Fern.

Chinatown and the Arts District will ring in the 2009 New Year with the neighborhood’s distinctive flair. Mayor Hannemann’s 5:00pm Inauguration at Hawaii Theatre presented the Arts District with an opportunity to have a party at the epicenter of First Friday. On First Friday, January 2 organizers will place a stage on Pauahi Street, between Hawaii Theatre and the ARTS at Marks Garage, and bring in live entertainment that combines First Friday energy with the Mayor’s Inauguration. Fern Elementary Choir, Iolani School’s Hula Halau and Augie T will kick off the event, followed by SoulZ and FIJI at 8:00. In addition to the activities on the street, Hawaii Craftsman will stage a fundraiser inside the ARTS at Marks Garage so that attendees can enjoy the street entertainment with a glass of wine in hand or another refreshment.

Fern Elementary School’s namesake is Joseph Fern, the first Mayor of Honolulu. The organizers thought that Fern School’s participation would be especially appropriate on the centennial of the election of the municipality’s first chief executive (not to mention that Mayor Hannemann also attended the school). No event in Hawaii would be complete without a hula performance and Iolani School’s Hula Halau (Mayor Hannemann’s alma mater) graciously offered to join the event. And Augie T, SoulZ and FIJI are local fixtures in the entertainment scene. Everyone is invited to gather in Chinatown, with entertainment throughout the arts district, buy a drink to support the ARTS at Marks Garage, celebrate in Mayor Hannemann’s Inauguration and participate in Honolulu’s most vibrant arts and entertainment scene.
