Join us on Saturday, May 18th for the Hala Festival as we celebrate one of Hawaiʻi's most iconic native trees. Cherished for its versatile uses in weaving, leimaking, and other traditional practices, hala holds a special place in Hawaiian culture. Join us from 10am-2pm to learn from expert weavers and cultural practitioners and discover how you can play a role in protecting hala for future generations. Enjoy hands-on workshops, live entertainment, local vendors, and much more! This event is organized by the Big Island Invasive Species Committee in collaboration with Pōhaku Pelemaka.
