This week\u2019s 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> News<\/em> Image of the Week is from Shen Ran, a graduate student in School of Architecture Global Track Program<\/a> at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa.<\/p>\n

Ran shared, “On September 7, 2024, the Aloha Festivals, the largest Hawaiian cultural celebration in the United States, which will last for a month, officially opened. In 1946, the Aloha Festivals began as ‘Aloha Week,’ a cultural celebration of Hawaiian music, dance and history, with the purpose of continuing the unique traditions of the Hawaiian Islands. Festivals founders had the foresight to create a public celebration to honor Hawaiian heritage. This is the Royal Court Investiture and opening ceremony I photographed at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. As a student at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>, this was my first time participating in an event like this in Hawaiʻi<\/span>, and I was excited to record the Hawaiian culture with my camera.”<\/p>\n
