Just stumbled on this info online:
Waikiki Beach Walk, the new emerging hub of Hawaiian entertainment, dining and shopping along the Lewers Street corridor, is kicking off a new free "Sunday Showcase" entertainment series starting April 6th. This will complement a couple of ongoing activities already in place, meaning locals and visitors alike have yet another destination to explore Waikiki. The new weekly program, part of Outrigger’s Nâ Mele No Na Pua -- Music for the Generations Hawaiian music heritage program, will assemble popular hula and music performers in an early evening program, from 5-6 p.m. on Sundays, at the Plaza Stage. So far the schedule for April includes:
April 6 — Pali
April 13 — Imua, Da Band
April 20 — Ala and Na Hui Lokahi with Hula Halau O Pua Loke
April 27 — A Touch of Gold & local funny man Frank DeLima
Dec. 21 — looking ahead a Christmas concert, roster to be announced
Waikiki Beach Walk also presents a free weekly show, Ku Ha’aheo (To Cherish With Pride), from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays at the Plaza Stage, and a Na Mele No Na Pua Kama’aina concert from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Sundays at the Grand Lanai of the Embassy Suites. Valet parking ($6) for four hours is available at the Embassy Suites and the Wyndham with any same-day purchase from a Waikiki Beach Walk merchant.

This is wonderful news. There is so much music available, and most of it for free or for the price of a drink or a meal. Last year when Paul and I walked from that area to our hotel down by the zoo, I thought I would pass out. I wss so tired and we would have to stop and rest every little while and sit on the planters where the hibiscus bushes were along Kalakaua Ave. I'll bet this year I shall be able to walk it with no problem. I am up to 3 mph on the treadmill. Frank DeLima is so funny. But he is actually pretty good on the `ukulele.
Thanks for getting us excited, Auntie Maria. As you would say, "Uiha!" |
