Punahou Carnival is a cherished campus-wide tradition that brings the entire community together in a joyful celebration of connection, teamwork, and fun. What began in 1932, when Academy students hosted an “Oahuan Campus Carnival” during the Depression to raise money for the yearbook, has grown into a two-day event that welcomes tens of thousands of visitors and engages students, parents, faculty, staff, and alumni in a shared effort to support financial aid. Led by the junior class, Carnival is not only a chance for meaningful leadership and teamwork but also a beloved occasion for everyone to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and celebrate the spirit of Punahou community.
