Virtual Manu o Ku Festival - May 16

Several weeks ago we suggested that you save the date May 16 for this year's Manu o Ku Festival. Since the outbreak of the covid-19 crisis you probably figured that the festival would be postponed or cancelled. Well, so did we at first. But after further thought, the planning committee decided to go ahead and hold the festival but with some changes that are in keeping with the new set of circumstances weʻre all dealing with. This year's festival is going to be a VIRTUAL event that will allow us all to remain at home and observe social distancing while still celebrating our Manu o Ku. The program is still being put together but we're planning to offer a mix of live and prerecorded material that you'll be able to enjoy with your family from the comfort of your home. There will be games for the keiki, talks about the Manu o Ku, a virtual white tern walk, a photo exhibit, music and more. Refreshments? That will be completely up to you as this will be a BYO affair. Stay tuned for additional details on this yearʻs new format festival but one thing we can pretty safely say is that it will happen rain or shine!
