Imiloa Wayfinding & Navigation Festival. Celebrate the historic feats of Pacific navigators and current day efforts to revive and expand celestial navigation skills and interest in long distance deep-sea canoe voyaging that connects the many indigenous island communities in the Pacific Ocean. Wayfinding and celestial navigation is an ancient knowledge that shows us the power of human initiative and intuition, before modern navigation systems became available to explore the unknown. Imiloa Astronomy Center, 600 Imiloa Pl., Hilo. For information call (808) 969-9703 or visit www.imiloahawaii.org.
