ʻIolani Luahine Hula Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Iolani Luahine Hula Festival was established in 2003 with the goal of perpetuating the hula, and in memory of ʻIolani Luahine, a great hula dancer and teacher of the mid-20th century.

It is held in Kailua Kona, on Luahine's native Big Island of Hawaii, and draws international as well as local participants. A scholarship is awarded to one of the participants to enable them to continue their study of hula.[1]
