| Description/Comments |
The Kaimuki Business and Professional Association (KBPA ) was formed in 1946. It is dedicated to serving the community and supporting the business environment of Kaimuki. View History of KBPA below to learn more.
Some of the signature events KBPA supports are the Kaimuki Park Easter Egg Hunt, the Halloween Costume Contest and the annual Christmas Parade up Waialae Avenue.
We also facilitate special business events/speakers on a regular basis. Check the Kaimuki Business and Professional Business Event Calendar for any KBPA Business Events.
HISTORY OF KBPA
For over 59 years the Kaimuki Business and Professional Association has dedicated itself to serving the community and supporting the business environment of Kaimuki.
Economic setbacks and the development of Ala Moana Center and Kahala Mall drew business away from Kaimuki in the 50s and 60s. However, in recent years, Kaimuki Town has enjoyed a silent resurgence and become a destination for diners, families and others seeking good food, quaint shops and that old town feel. A testament to the ability of Kaimuki to draw people to its streets is shown by the large number of diners that are still willing to brave less-then-ideal parking to patronize a favorite Kaimuki restaurant.
KBPA continues to sponsor the state's longest running community Christmas parade, the Annual Kaimuki Christmas Parade. Government restrictions prohibit the glittering and colorful Christmas decorations that once spanned Waialae Avenue during the holiday season. However, the Kaimuki Christmas Parade continues to be a hit with residents and continues to generate exposure for Kaimuki as a destination.
New KBPA events in the planning stages for 2006 include the co-sponsorship of a food, entertainment and craft fair tentatively dubbed "Celebrate Kaimuki!" and a coordinated clean up project with businesses, schools and other associations.
Addressing the parking issue with the Kaimuki Municipal parking lot is a long standing priority for KBPA. Preliminary polls of its members show a majority recognize a parking problem and the need for action. While it attempts to address important Kaimuki issues, KBPA strives to maintain Kaimuki's unique image of being a strong historical island town.
