Aloha Festivals 2007 - Honoring "Ke Kahua Lani O Hawaii - Hawaii's Beloved Royal Playgrounds"

Monday August 20, 2007
Hawaii’s culture, customs, traditions and aloha spirit will be showcased and celebrated in one of Hawaii’s most-prominent events, the Aloha Festivals. This eight-week, six island annual celebration returns once again bigger and better than ever.

This year’s Festival theme is Ke Kahua Lani O Hawaii - Hawaii's Beloved Royal Playgrounds. Hawaii's beloved royal playgrounds are symbolic and unique to each neighboring island according to its ali'i and its written history. Each is filled with stories, legends and chants worthy of being told, worthy of being shared.

The theme was chosen carefully "in an effort to preserve history, recreate what once was, to believe and to dare to revive such a rich history and its cultural ties for Hawaii's children."

Aloha! Please do come. Check out Waikiki News for the inside scoops. i especially like the “Walking in Waikiki” column by Cloudia Charters. Her novel “Aloha Where You Lik Go?” should be required reading before coming here. hope to see you at the fest! ruth
