Free music and hula at nine various stages along Kalakaua including the Lim Family, Kaumakaiwa "Lopaka" Kanaka'ole and then on Saturday Halau o Kekuhi (Auntie recommends seeing them dance if you never have--chicken skin for sure.)
Gonna be plenty booths of various ethnic foods and music and crafts and culture. Gonna be taiko drummers. They sure work hard!
Sounds like swell fun.
FOR FREE! In Cleveland you would pay probably $10 to park, $20 to get in to the festival just to be able to access the food booths to buy kaukau. And then you wouldn't even get any music that you could stand to listen to.
Mahalo for this "heads up", Wanda. We're headed for Honolulu that Saturday (going to the Hoku Awards the following Tuesday) and now we'll have even MORE fun stuffs to do!
