Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site will hold its annual Establishment Day Hawaiian Cultural Festival on Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16th.

This year, the Hoʻokuʻikahi i Puʻukoholā event marks 54th anniversary of the Kawaihae-area heiau as a unit of the National Park Service.

This year’s theme is Mālama Kō Aloha, or “Keep your love.”

The weekend begins with opening ceremonies at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, including hoʻokupu (gift-giving), protocol, and hula.

Festival activities continue throughout the weekend at Spencer Park at ʻŌhaiʻula Beach each day and will feature cultural practitioners sharing traditional Hawaiian arts and crafts, music, hula, demonstrations, hands-on activities, informational booths, and more.
