Aloha Kakou,
The Kava Festival, also known in Hawai'i as the 'Awa Festival, features many aspects of 'awa as central to culture for Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands. The festival celebrates 'awa as an important and fundamental aspect of Hawaiian culture and a treasure for Hawai'i's people and the world.
Live local music from Hawai'i's hottest music groups, educational and cultural booths, 'awa sampling, 'awa plants, 'apu making workshop, preparation demos, pa'i'ai/poi pounding, coloring contests for kids, food booths, evening movies, and Hawai'i's 'awa serving bars and cafes as well as from the mainland will be serving the public. In addition, a traditional Hawaiian kapu 'awa ceremony will be performed honoring VIPs who have made contributions in culture, education and science. The festival will also host a variety of cultural and scientific talks in the 'awa gardens on lauhala mats open to the public. You're also welcome to bring your own lauhala or beach mat and find one of many shady areas under the trees to enjoy yourselves the entire day.
Finally please consider contributing to the 'Awa Development Council by purchasing our new t-shirt design courtesy of Solomon Enos, Native Hawaiian artist, and other designs by Bruce Chong, Matthew "Chuna-Boy" Kaopio and Dietrich Varez or by contributions on-site at the Info Booth. We need your support. All funds raised are used to support the Kava Festival and the mission of the ADC in promoting education, science and culture for 'awa in Hawai'i.
I Maluhia ka Honua (So that the world may be at peace).
Mahalo,
'Awa Development Council
