The Lahaina Cannery Mall will host its 17th annual Keiki Hula Festival on Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19.

This free, two-day cultural event will feature hālau (dance troupes) from across the island presenting richly choreographed kahiko (ancient hula) and auana (modern) hula that express the traditional values of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Islands.

The weekend celebration also includes Hawaiian artisans and crafters demonstrating lei making, weaving, wood carving and other traditional skills.
