After a two-year pandemic-induced hiatus, the Kailua Beach July 4 fireworks display returned Monday on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Thousands lined the shore to catch the show under clear skies and a warm tropical breeze. The annual fireworks show at Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu was cancelled, with a slate of alternate entertainment taking its place. (MIKEY HIRANO CULROSS/Rafu Shimpo)
