The 15th Annual Honolulu Festival Kick Off Press Conference was held this morning at 10:00 am at Waikiki Beach Walk. It was a lovely day in Hawaii and a great way to start off the work week.

Then Mr. Keiichi Tsujino, President of the Honolulu Festival Foundation, thanked the press for coming and talked about the highlights of the upcoming event on March 13-15, 2009.
