(BIVN) – The Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park in South Kona will host its annual Hawaiian Cultural Festival later this month.
The 65th annual festival will take place on Saturday, June 27th. Entry into the park will be free on this day.
This year’s theme is “Hoʻolono i ka leo o ka ʻāina,” or “Listen to the voice of the land.” The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature “cultural practitioners from Hawaiʻi Island sharing their crafts, hula performances, displays and information tables,” the National Park Service says.
From the National Park Service news release:
The 65th Cultural Festival will be a fun and family-friendly event. Hats, sunscreen, and water are recommended. To protect fragile resources and preserve the historic setting of the park, picnicking, coolers, and chairs are not allowed in the Royal Grounds. No food is available in the park. This free event is co-sponsored by the Hawaiʻi Pacific Parks Association, Friends of Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau, and Nā Hoa Aloha o ka Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau.
