Ka Ohana O Honuapo celebrated its stewardship of Honuapo Park at the third “Hoolaulea at Honuapo: Malama Ka‘u Sunday (Sept 5) at Honuapo Park and Whittington Beach Park.
The free, multi-generational festivities was open to everyone, with great food, music, hula, ‘olelo (storytelling) and more. Cyril Pahinui, Na Hoku Hanohano winner and sweet-voiced son of Hawaiian music legend Gabby Pahinui, will added his slack key magic in a special performance.
Traditionally, a hoolaulea is a gathering for a special occasion, such as May Day or school graduation, when food, Hawaiian cultural crafts and games are shared. What sets the “Hoolaulea at Honuapo: Malama Ka’u” apart is that it’s also a fundraiser to protect the historic and culturally significant Honuapo Park in the southern Ka’u District.
The event was supported by the County of Hawaii through a grant from the Hawaii Tourism Authority.
