Hoʻolau Kanaka 2025 Vendor/Demonstrator Form
Our Lāhui and the people, places, and practices contained within it are of utmost importance to us. Therefore, as part of the Hoʻolau Kanaka Festival this year, we are excited to include presentations and resources from a number of our community partners to provide information and support to our festival attendees.
These organizations are an integral part of our kaiāulu (community) and help to keep our culture vibrant and alive.
We encourage you to meet these organizations at our festival, and to continue to engage with and learn from them in the future!
