No dedicated Honolulu code section covers holiday decorations. Displays are addressed under ROH Sec. 21-7.20 temporary sign standards and exempt sign provisions. District-specific standards at Sec. 21-7.40 may apply. For displays in public parks, Chapter 10 park rules (Sec. 10-1.2) govern placement. Hawaii Kai residents commonly put up elaborate seasonal lighting; these displays are permissible on private property but should not obstruct sidewalks, signage, or sight triangles for traffic, and should comply with any HOA covenants.
