THE CELEBRATION
The celebration begins with a warm Hawaiian welcome, as guests are invited to participate in traditional games and watch the imu ceremony. With incredible music and dance, you’re treated to an excellent show, but what really makes this incredible is the MC, who should really be on Broadway! What a voice! As night falls, torches light the way for a captivating performance of hula, live music, and stories about Kalāhuipuaʻa and the history and traditions of the area.
