Visitors who spend the Fourth of July, New Year's Eve,
or Chinese New Year in Hawaii, should prepare themselves
for some loud and explosive action. I will never forget the
first time I saw (and heard) one of my Hawaii neighbors string
10,000 firecrackers together, hang them over the branch of a tree,
and set the whole thing on fire! Or wading through early-morning
ankle-deep firecracker papers in the streets of Waikiki on New
Year's Day.
Firecrackers are a strong cultural tradition in Hawaii,
especially among Hawaii's Chinese American community,
because in Chinese culture, fireworks during New Year
Celebrations are suppose to scare away
evil spirits and bring good luck during the coming year.
