]A night of family fun and amazing discoveries is coming at Insect-a-Palooza, presented by Patagonia Honolulu and the University of Hawaiʻi Insect Museum.

This free, keiki-friendly event will be on Saturday, July 26, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m at Patagonia Honolulu, 535 Ward Ave. Insect-a-Palooza offers an immersive journey into Hawaiʻi’s insect world.

Explore the state’s incredible array of insects, from native solitary bees vital to the pollination of endangered plants to the famous “bone collector” caterpillar that covers itself in the body parts of its prey.

Learn from scientists in the entomology section of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience studying the “bone collector caterpillar,” which is only found in the Waiʻanae mountains.

Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.

This exhibit is a part of Honouliuli National Historic Site's 80 Years of Closure Commemoration which honors the permanent closing of Honouliuli Internment Camp.

The Honouliuli National Historic Site pop-up exhibit that traveled around O‘ahu last year is headed for new shores on our neighboring islands. Beginning in June, the pop-up exhibit will find new homes in public libraries across the Hawaiian Islands, on the same island that will also screen the movie Voices Behind Barbed Wire that month.

Honouliuli National Historic Site's pop-up exhibit is a series of panels that give foundational information about Honouliuli Internment Camp and its impacts as well as National Park Service stewardship of the site. For those who have never heard of the park, it is a great source of knowledge to learn an overview of the history.

Pop-up exhibit is available to view during normal library hours.

Every year, we have so much fun sharing the wonder and magic of Monarch butterflies with our community. From watching butterflies feed to learning about their incredible life cycle, it is an experience that creates lasting memories for visitors of all ages.

This year is especially meaningful because we are celebrating our 10th anniversary! Ten years of educating, inspiring, and connecting people with the beauty of butterflies. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us along this amazing journey.

Animals, both real and imagined, are integral to Asia Pacific origin stories, religious stories, myths, epics, folktales, and village scenes, often bearing symbolic significance such as good luck, prosperity, protection, and abundance. FAUNA features artwork from the East-West Center Collection that highlights animals of the land, sky, and waterways. These works represent cultures of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (First Nations), China, Guam, Hawaiʻi, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Torres Strait Islands, the United States, and Vietnam. Art mediums featured include calligraphy, ceramics, paintings, puppets, sculpture, textiles, and woodcarving. This imagery reminds us of the interdependence and interconnectedness among animals, people, and the environment.

About the Show
Prepare to be dazzled by world-class entertainer and expert in sleight-of-hand magic, Maui’s own David Kuraya. David is one of six elite magicians– and the only magician from Maui– who performed regularly at the renowned Warren & Annabelle’s Magic Nightclub in Lahaina before the fires. A deeply community-oriented performer, David, carries on the legacy of that beautiful show with the blessing of his longtime friend and mentor Warren. At each show, he donates parts of his proceeds to local charities.
Other upcoming dates in the Series coming soon! Featuring special guest performers!

More About David
David also entertains corporate groups and colleges throughout Hawaii and the United States mainland. He was the strolling magician for Tony Robbins’ “Connect to My Essence” seminar on Maui, resident magician at Mana Kai Resort, and headlining performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. David regularly entertains at private events for politicians, TV stars, and businessmen, such as the founder of Ellie Mae Inc., Sig Anderman, who said of David’s show, “I have worked with many magicians, but David is just THE BEST, as good as it gets, a ten out of ten.” Clients know they get more than magic when they book David Kuraya. His curated routines are original, clean, and personalized for each group. The message of David’s show is, “When we come together, amazing things happen.” The magic does not come from a colorful box or magic wand but through the whole audience’s teamwork. The result is a unique bonding experience that will leave a lasting effect long after the show. See you at showtime!
