"Every year, our Windward City Lights Celebration gets bigger and better," Hannemann said. "I'm happy the city is able to bring the spirit of the season to the folks of Windward Oahu. Windward City Lights is a great addition to our long-running Honolulu City Lights celebration as well as our Kapolei City Lights parade and tree lighting ceremonies, and is fast becoming part of our growing island holiday tradition."
