It’s a great weekend for moon shine, bougie barkers and a plain white tee.

Tuesday, May 25, through Wednesday, May 26, 11:45 p.m.–1:18 a.m.
This 2021 astro-wow-ical event, called the “Super Flower Blood Moon” a combo of a super moon and lunar eclipse will star the biggest, brightest and bloodiest (more glow than gore) moon this year. And the best locations to see this heavenly body are here, Australia and New Zealand. Once again, lucky we live Hawai‘i. No special eyewear is needed to view the eclipse, which technically begins on Tuesday at 11:45 p.m. However, you may want to have a perk-me-up since the most drastic change won’t be until about 1:18 a.m. Wednesday. If you plan to watch it, be on time: Bishop Museum says the moon will turn red for about seven minutes, 1:18–1:25 am., then the color will fade. At 2:52 a.m., it’ll be goodnight moon, and the eclipse will be pau.

December 9 through 27, tours depart at 6, 7 and 8 p.m.
Brighten up your holidays and take a joyride on a festive, lit-up trolley. The 45-minute excursion will chauffeur you through Downtown Honolulu to see familiar faces Santa Shaka and Tūtū Mele and twinkling light displays that have become part of our local holiday traditions. All trolleys will start and end at Victoria Ward Park, will operate only half full and no one will be allowed to disembark during the tour. Reservations are required and often fill up quickly. The trolleys will run on Christmas Day.
