Sponsored Edition: Come Fourth

Ahh, July 4th. The day our Founding Fathers declared Independence from Great Britain.

Also, the day aliens try to take over the planet. But really, we’re focusing on the Founding Fathers here…

So tip your pearly white wig to them by heading over to Ala Moana Center for an Independence Day party that would knock their knickers off – fireworks, live music and, the all-American pastime, shopping.

Start the celebration tomorrow by picking up or downloading a special Savings Pass that will get you 20 percent off a regular-priced item at over 55 stores, like Cinnamon Girl, 7 for All Mankind and LeSportsac, between June 30 and July 4. Once you acquire $200 worth of swag, don’t bother sticking a feather in your cap. Just head over to the Customer Service Center, show them your receipts dated between June 30 and July 4, and pick up an exclusive 4th of July Ala Moana Center summer tote. (Editor’s note: in the photo, the items featured inside the tote are not included.)

Then stagger your way to Centerstage – hey, no one said being a patriot was easy – and enter to win Ala Moana Center’s 4th of July Magic & Memories Sweepstakes. One lucky winner will score a $500 Ala Moana Center gift card, a three-night stay at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, and breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and the gang, since, you know, Tea Parties were sooo three centuries ago. Then sit back and reward yourself with live Centerstage entertainment by Danny Couch, Natalie Ai Kamauu, Nathan Aweau and more.

Now, for the ultimate knickers-knocking. Come Wednesday, enjoy a night of fiery entertainment that kicks off at 5 p.m. with a star-spangled lineup of entertainers on the Makai-Ewa parking deck, including the Pacific Fleet Ceremonial Band, Hapa and Na Palapalai. Then at 8:30 p.m., take in the rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air from the largest, most spectacular fireworks show in Hawaii and one of the top 25 fireworks shows in the country.

Best of all, it’s absolutely free.

Just like you.
