Makahiki participants parade with the akua loa toward Pyramid Rock Beach aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii to mark the beginning of the Makahiki season. A warrior near the front of the procession periodically blows on a conch shell to call everyone within hearing distance to the opening ceremonies. The Makahiki season coincides with the Hawaiian star-calendar new year and is a celebration of the harvest.
