The luminous decorations of Kapolei City Lights 2025 will be open to the public from the evening of Saturday, December 6, 2025 through Sunday, January 4, 2026. This year, the Kapolei City Lights decorations and festivities will be crafted with the theme a “Season of Stars”, a tribute to our islands’ ocean navigation traditions. Nā hōkū (the stars) have long guided Hawaiian wayfinders across the Pacific, lighting the path to new horizons. Just as the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s Hōkūleʻa (Star of Gladness) has guided our lāhui (community), our hōkū inspire us to gather, reflect, and share the joy of the season.
