Held annually at OUTRIGGER Kāʻanapali Beach Resort, Hula O Nā Keiki is a cherished children’s hula competition honoring Hawaiian language, music and dance. With participants ranging from 6 to 17, this two-day event showcases the next generation of hula talent and the perpetuation of the art as they compete in both hula kahiko (traditional) and hula ʻauana (modern) styles.

Beyond competition, the event nurtures a deeper understanding of Hawaiian values, mele (song) composition and identity through workshops and cultural exchange. Guests are encouraged to shop local at the Hawaiian Arts Market, complete with Hawaiian clothing designers, arts and hands-on workshops.
