A Queen Is Crowned Every Lei Day

Every year, Hawaiian people celebrate Lei Day - and this is a celebration to honor their traditions, the love they have for their islands and the natural world, and their devotion to their friends and family. This is a hugely significant day in the Hawaiian calendar, which is why they decided to mark the occasion by crowning a Lei Queen. However, only the best of the best can take the crown.

The Lei Queen must demonstrate her impressive lei-making skills, but that's not all. She also needs to be fluent in the Hawaiian language and hold all of their values at her core.
