During the selection, applicants will be judged on their lei-making abilities, hula performance, poise, personality, and public speaking in English and Hawaiian. The selection will determine the Lei Queen/King and their princes/princesses to represent the City and County of Honolulu in an honorary capacity during select events throughout the year. Of those events, the Lei Day Celebration is one of the most prominent.

The theme for the 2019 Lei Day Celebration is Lei Kahakai - seashore lei.

The 92nd Annual Lei Day Celebration will be held on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, at Kapi‘olani Park, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. In preparation for the annual lei contest, the Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation is offering free lei-making workshops for the public.
