Aunty Nālani’s Champagne Bar: Kakahiaka Kūkā
4/26 / Hilo Shop / 10:30am-12pm
It’s parade day tomorrow! Come spend your kakahiaka with us enjoying some champagne and kūkā with Nalani Kanakaʻole.
As a kumu hula of the six-generational Hālau O Kekuhi, a Merrie Monarch judge for decades, and the co-founder of Sig Zane Designs, we celebrate and honor Nālani Kanakaʻole. A creative force that manifests her visions through many mediums, Nālani Kanakaʻole is a cultural icon, carrying forth the traditions of her grandmother Mary Ahiena Fujii, and her mother Edith Kanakaʻole, weaving them through her practices of hula choreography, composition, and art.
With her taking a break from the judge’s seat, we at Sig Zane Designs are taking this opportunity to listen to her words of wisdom: Mele, Hula, ʻAʻahu, and maybe some perspectives as a long serving Merrie Monarch Judge. Here’s a chance to ask a question and see if it gets answered at our Kakahiaka Kūkā!
There will be flowing beverages from Summer Club and Devant Champagne and some specialty products from Aunty Nālani’s Champagne Bar!
We hope to see you there!
