 💫 December 10th, 2022 (Saturday)  💫

CANCELLED

🙁

11/23/2022 UPDATE:

Aloha night riders, we are bummed to let you know that the Light Up the Night Ride with HPD, planned for Saturday, Dec. 10th, is cancelled due to HPD officers being reassigned to other positions that evening. The safety of our riders is of utmost importance (with fun being a very close second!), so without HPD officers providing escort through Waikīkī we don’t believe it would be in your best interest to hold this event. We are actively working with HPD’s District 6 Community Policing Team to confirm with us another date so we can reschedule this great family-friendly event, which they have said may be in the beginning of 2023. 

 
We will absolutely keep you posted once that new date has been confirmed on their side. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact HBL’s Director of Adult Education, Malia, at Malia@HBL.org. We really appreciate your understanding.
 
Please stay tuned – we’ll be sending out an email once the new (rescheduled) date is confirmed for this event!
 
Thanks so much for your support,

– HBL Staff
