2026 "Waikīkī Shell"

Our 2026 ornament highlights Shaka Santa’s visit to the Waikīkī Shell, the historic outdoor amphitheater in Kapiʻolani Park. Framed by its iconic shell-shaped stage and the scenic backdrop of Diamond Head, the venue has hosted thousands of concerts, festivals, and cultural events throughout its rich history. Renamed the Tom Moffatt Waikīkī Shell in 2018, the venue celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.
 
Look closely at center stage and you’ll find Hawaiʻi’s incomparable musical duo, The Brothers Cazimero. For 30 years, Robert and Roland Cazimero’s annual May Day Concert filled the Waikīkī Shell with their legendary music, Spirit of Aloha, and unforgettable memories.
