And that’s when it hits you: you have no idea what’s going on, or even what movie you’re watching anymore...
...promotion of the hula in particular and Hawaiian culture in general. The weeklong fiesta, which attracts up to 10,000 people, begins with a Ho'olaulea (music festival) on Moku Ola that features traditional singing. On March 30, there's a free hula exhibition night at the Edith Kanaka 'Ole Stadium where you can see both traditional and contemporary hula styles. Don't miss the competition on March 31, where dancers vie for the title of Miss Aloha Hula. There's also a hula-themed parade that winds through downtown Hilo at 10:30 a.m. on April 2. Except...
