More than 30 hula hālau will gather in Waikīkī at the end of the month for the Hula ʻOni E Hula Festival.

Presented by Hālau Hula ʻO Hokulani, this year's event marks its 30th year and prides itself on perpetuating hula traditions and culture for practitioners and spectators alike. The festival also features a craft fair of 40 local vendors from across the State of Hawaiʻi.

The hula competition invites haumāna (students) ages six and up to participate in showcasing ʻauana and kahiko (modern and ancient) styles. The festival craft fair features dozens of local vendors and their Hawaiʻi made products of Hawaiian designs and various local snacks. The craft fair is free and open to the public. The hula festival requires a ticket.
