We are looking for a cool "Hawaiian" 4th of July experience. Any great suggestions?

1. Growing up all my life on O`ahu, Hawaii.. I can pinpoint just one spot. A beach park called Alamoana beach park. You can't miss it if you have a map. It's located right on Alamoana Blvd. Many locals.. like me.. & our families love to go there to picnic, bbq, go to the beach or hang out with friends out there until the fireworks show starts. Usually that starts somewhere between 6:00pm - 8:00pm. I can't remember the time.. but please google search: Alamoana Beach firework show.
   Now across the street is the famous Alamoana mall. Many local residents goes there to watch the 4th of July firework show. In their huge parking lot on the 2nd level facing Alamoana beach side they'll have live entertainments until the huge firework show takes place from Alamoana beach park.
   So you could choose to watch it from Alamoana mall 2nd level parking lot or across the street at Alamoana beach park. I must warn you it gets extremely crowded & high in traffic. It's worth the watch!!! Seeing the fireworks that is being lit on the beach is amazing!! Now you make me want to go home now.. I miss home.
2. Go into a residential area and hang out with the locals.
3. if you go across to Ford Island (where the Missouri and Arizona are) there is an AWESOME fireworks show at Pearl Harbor. Very moving experience,
4. Go to Waikiki. Watch the sunset and fireworks at the same time. Hang out with friends on the beach and then dine in one of many restaurants or go to the clubs.
5. They will actually be celebrating the 4th of July on the 3rd. I just found out myself!
   I gather anyplace around Waikiki will be awesome! FYI on Friday nights, there is fireworks at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
6. I think the kaneohe bay fest is going on the 4th of july…Check with honoluluadvertiser.com for details on that..I got the info from there. a few famous people are going to have their concerts there..not sure who and when.
