81st Annual Nā Hula Festival Highlights

The Nā Hula Festival is Hawai‘i's longest-running, annual, non-competitive hula event! In 2022, the Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation celebrated the 81st year of this time-honored tradition as it returned to an in-person event at the Kapi‘olani Park Bandstand for the first time since the pandemic (there was no event in 2020, and a virtual event in 2021)
This video montage shows some of the highlights from the event, with colorful, graceful performances from (in order of appearance on video, which was the reverse of when they performed on the day of the festival):
- Hālau Hula o Hōkūlani
- Hālau Hula o Pua ‘A‘ala Hone
- 2022 Lei Queen and Court (Queen Natalie Brown Ah Quin, First Princess Kalehua Tolentino, and Princess Kēhau Holi-Robb)
- Puanani Alama Hula Studio
- Nā Wāhine o ka Hula
Mahalo to all of the hālau, dancers, spectators, friends, and park ‘ohana who made this event such a success! We hope to see you next year, and for many, many more years to come.
