The color blue will illuminate Honolulu Hale and Neal S. Blaisdell Arena from sundown on Monday, April 15, 2024, to sunrise on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the request of Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi to honor Make-A-Wish Hawaii and World Wish Month. 

The nonprofit Make-A-Wish Hawaii creates life-changing experiences that bring hope, strength and joy to wish children and their families. World Wish Month, celebrated in April, honors the impact of wishes granted to children facing critical illnesses, according to a news release.

"We are thrilled to partner with Make-A-Wish Hawaii to spread awareness and support for World Wish Month," said Blangiardi in the news release. "By illuminating Honolulu Hale and Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in their signature blue, we send a powerful message of hope and compassion to wish children and their families in our community."
