May Day celebrations, as we know them, with the royal courts dressed in their island colors, wearing their island lei, find their origin in the first lei contest held on May 1, 1928, and ever after referred to as Lei Day. In 1927, author Don Blanding and a fellow “Honolulu Star-Bulletin” newspaper writer named Grace Tower Warren came up with the idea of honoring the tradition of the lei, which they thought was in decline. The first Lei Day was held on May 1, 1928, and was a resounding success. A lei contest took place in the lobby of Bank of Hawaiʻi, and the official judges were Princess Abigail Wahiikaahuula Campbell, Elizabeth Lahilahi Webb (lady-in-waiting for Queen Liliʻuokalani), and Aliʻi Lucy Kalanikiʻekiʻe Davis. The festival included a lei competition in which lei were judged based on the appropriate use of flowers and colors of islands as designated in 1923 by Hawaiʻi’s Territorial Legislature. Ever since this inaugural lei competition in 1928, the islands have continued to celebrate May Day in Hawaiʻi as being synonymous with Lei Day.
