The MACC will be collecting donations for the Maui Food Bank during this event. We ask that our patrons bring needed items for those impacted by the wildfires. Donation bins will be located near the MACC's main entry gates.
The 2024 Kū Mai Ka Hula competition kicks off early with a film screening and discussion led by Lanihuli Kanahele, great-granddaughter of the late Edith Kanakaʻole. She will be accompanied by special guests as we celebrate this world-renowned mele, Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai, and all it encompasses.
Edith Kanakaʻole practiced environmental stewardship through the mele that she composed and the hula that she choreographed. This was a staple in her practice. This presentation will highlight the diversity within Hula and the ocean as we follow the song Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai. Allow us to showcase the importance of our environment and how the practice of hula reflects this.
Without a healthy ecosystem, there is no hula. Without the Hula, there are no records.
