(a) While it is in the public interest to foster sightliness and physical good order within the city, it is also in the public interest to promote public festivals that can bring the residents of the city and their visitors together and promote ethnic traditions, customs, historical or cultural events, or athletic competition, and foster the development of tourism.
(b) The attractive decoration of public places and festivals complement one another. Organizers of festivals such as Aloha Week may be allowed to apply to the city requesting that attractive banners be displayed from public lampposts on authorized streets at the expense of the community organization to promote the public interest.
