HONOLULU (KHON2) — Spring graduation ceremonies are in full swing so be prepared for some traffic delays as several commencements are being held at a key venue on Oahu.
At the Stan Sheriff Center, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will be hosting two commencement ceremonies on Saturday followed by seven high school graduations.
“The good thing is parking is going to be free in our lower campus structure,” said Marc Arakaki. “UH Manoa spokesperson. We hope that will help with traffic flow, because parking is free and at least the lower structure fills up, motorists will be directed to upper campus lots at that point.”
