THURSDAY July 23rd
Thursday Night Pāʻina
- Hawaiian Music: Hawaiian music is played throughout the night – kanikapila style! Get together with your band, your friends or join in with others who just want to jam. Kanikapila is a laid back, backyard style of jamming that we want to bring to our pāʻina (party) so no pressure. Come and jam!
- Hula Dancers: The dance floor (or any space you can find) is open all night long for hula dancers to get up and share some impromptu hula. Nothing rehearsed – when you hear a song you know, get up and hula! (No application required.)
