Over 30 years ago, Uncle Larry and Aunty Hoku’s dream was to create an event that met the needs of the participating halau and guests, a hula festival run by hula dancers with a focus on aloha and hospitality.
In partnership with the Hilton Hawaiian Village, this long-standing tradition offers malihina and kama’aina, alike, to witness a showcase of hula from amazing halau from across the pae ‘aina and Japan.
Through the years, our halau has partnered with local businesses who come and share their hana noeau, apparel, home decor, jewelry, etc, in the event’s craft fair. This 3 day event/production occurs during Labor Day weekend at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Presented by:
Hālau Hula ʻO Hokulani
Hālau Hula ʻO Hokulani was founded in 1985 by Aunty Hokulani and her husband Uncle Larry. The first students of the Hālau was composed by their children and their neighbors that surrounded their Wahiawa home. Today, the students of our Hālau now expand past Hawaii, into the Orient and across Europe. Aunty Hoku and Uncle Larry have built a Legacy and has trusted the continuation of the Hawaiian Culture to their daughters, Leinani and Kehaulani. Together, the Hokulani Duo, upholds the foundational vision for the Hālau that was first established by Aunty and Uncle., ʻBuild Strong Family Units through Hula!”
