Save the date: Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Hawaiian Cultural Festival, July 20

The 40th Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park Hawaiian Cultural Festival is happening in Kahuku on July 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – and the event is free.

A vibrant lineup of local performers, hula performances and engaging Hawaiian arts and craft demonstrations will be announced in the weeks ahead. Visitors can also learn about local conservation efforts through fun, interactive exhibits.

Bring water, sun protection and a rain jacket. Sunscreen, a hat and a ground mat or chair are recommended. Festival T-shirts, food and refreshments will be available for sale (or bring your own picnic). This wonderful family experience is a drug- and alcohol-free event.

Kahuku is located on the mauka side of Highway 11 near mile marker 70.5, a 50-minute drive south of the park’s main entrance.

The 40th annual Cultural Festival is co-sponsored by Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, the Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park and the Hawai‘i Pacific Parks Association.
