Cooking with Keoki Kahumoku
Sign-up for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cook with Grammy-award winning Keoki Kahumoku (as comfortable in the kitchen as he is on the stage) while he stirs up a traditional Hawaiian menu that will leave you begging for more. Space is very limited for this very special event, so sign up early.
1:00 –4:00 p.m. $35.00
Dancing Under the Stars
Join us at the Tucker Farm Center for an evening of dining and dancing that will recall the Golden Age of Hawaiian music on the shores of Waikiki with our very own Makai Gents (featuring Judd Finklestein,) Maui’s original songbird, Robyn Mehealani, Konabob (all the way from—you guessed it—Kona), and the first-ever public performance of the Napa Haoles,who are still actively recruiting volunteers.
6:30 p.m.—???? $85.00
