Iolani Bandstand

Iolani Bandstand was once the coronation stand for King Kalakaua. The bandstand is located in Honolulu on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The bandstand is located on the Iolani Palace Grounds. It was first located at the front entrance to the palace and connected by a bridge. However, it was later moved.

The structure was moved to the current location in order to preserve and restore the rounded structure. It has retained its original form. It is a large "gazebo" structure with domed roof of green tiles. It has various flags of nations including Japan. As a rounded structure it has a covering for the band with stairs leading up. There is also an underneath area. This area can be reached from above ground by taking stairs and entering the door. The new location still retains the underneath section.

Though Hawaii is now a part of the US the history of the Islands and its Kingdom are not lost. The Iolani Bandstand is proof of that. The structure turned into a bandstand when it was restored. Today the Royal Hawaiian Band performs at the bandstand when weather permits. Often this is on Fridays at noon.
