it is the anniversary of the attack on PEARL HARBOR. I hope you know what that is. in case you don't it is when Japan bombed us at PEARL HARBOR catching us totally off guard, killing our troops and destroying our ships. the starting of our involvement in the war thus the beginning of WW 2. the year was 1941. GOD BLESS ALL THE VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES

December 7th was the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It's possible that the planned ceremonies and other such remembrances are what is bringing people together on that date. Many, many people were killed, ships sunk, planes bombed, etc. It was quite a terrible time.
It would make a good historic study for you if you are interested. Then you could visit those sites when you got to go there.

The Honolulu Marathon Draws literally thousands and thousands of Japanese to Waikiki thus creating a lack of hotel rooms.

December 7th is the 65th anniversary of Pearl Harbor attack. Maybe there are lots of services & memorials planned bringing people to Honolulu.

Pearl Harbor day week is a major Japanese holiday timeperiod. I happened to visit Honolulu several years ago and there were millions of Japanese folks in town. It happened to be that week.

Probably not a specific event, just the busy season for them because people from the states want to go where it's warm for the holiday season since its cold where they live. Ask a hotel rep when you call.
