The 2008 12th Annual "Festival of Lights" Boat Parade, hosted by the Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association, was again a huge success. People from all parts the island, including tourists, gathered to the three major Hawaii Kai shopping centers to watch 33 decorated boats troll around the marina waterways.
Winner of the "Best Overall Boat" went to Tom Hintnaus and his crew. Tom transformed his 24' outboard to a winning "Mark Twain" theme. His creative abilities have won him several grand prizes in past boat parades.
Other winners included Bob Raben for "Best Electric Boat," John Gravener for "Peanuts Charlie Brown," Eddie Fraser for "Santa," and Bob Hampton for "Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." There were also winners for second and third place in several boat categories
The parade was held at sunset under perfect island skies on Saturday, December 20, 2008.
Festivities included a live free concert by celebrated vocalist Amy Hanaiali'i.
