Friday.
No parking will be allowed along the parade route, including ‘Eiwa and ‘Umi streets, after

The annual Kaua‘i Museum Christmas Craft Fair will also take place on Friday. For the
safety of pedestrians and vendors at the fair, there will be no access to the Līhu‘e Civic Center
parking lot through the ‘Eiwa Street entrance behind the museum, from 4:30 p.m. on Thursday

A private security company will be monitoring the Kaua‘i Museum parking area.
