January 12, 2020:
Kealailiahi – A Fragrant Offering of Aloha Celebrating 15 Years of Hula. With its first classes starting in November of 2004, Halau Kekuaokalaaualailiahi, under the direction of Iliahi and Haunani Paredes, began its hula journey with 75 brave haumana who were willing to give the young and inexperienced pair of kumu hula a chance. Now, 15 years later and with over 300 haumana, Iliahi and Haunani look back over their many blessings: lives have been interwoven and hearts touched; an ohana flourishes. Halau Kekuaokalaaualailiahi humbly presents KEALAILIAHI, a fragrant offering of aloha celebrating 15 wonderful years of hula: sharing mele, hula, and stories from their lei of memories, and honoring those who have made lasting impressions on their lives. A preshow program starts at 3 pm in the courtyard, with entertainment, silent/live auctions, and Hawaiian arts & craft marketplace. Tickets: $36, General Admission (plus applicable fees)
