Celebrate Hawaiian culture at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park’s 39th annual Hawaiian Cultural Festival.

It will be held in the Kahuku Unit in Kaʻū on July 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Attendees will enjoy Hawaiian music by Kenneth Makuakāne and Russell Mauga and experience traditional ‘oli (chant) and hula (dance) while learning a Hawaiian craft.

The family-friendly day shares the connection of Hawaiian people to the ʻāina (land).
