When is the Annual Hula Festival in Hawaii?

There are several hula festivals held throughout Hawaii each year, so the exact date of the annual hula festival can vary depending on the location and event. However, one of the most well-known hula festivals is the Merrie Monarch Festival, which is held in Hilo on the island of Hawaii (also known as the Big Island).

The Merrie Monarch Festival is typically held in April, and it is a week-long celebration of Hawaiian culture and hula. The festival includes hula competitions, performances, workshops, and other events that showcase the art and history of hula. The festival is named after King David Kalakaua, who was known as the “Merrie Monarch” and was a strong supporter of Hawaiian arts and culture.

In addition to the Merrie Monarch Festival, there are many other hula festivals held throughout Hawaii each year, including the Kauai Mokihana Festival, the Eo E Emalani I Alaka’i Festival on Kauai, and the Maui Hula Festival. These festivals celebrate the beauty and tradition of hula, and offer visitors a unique and memorable experience of Hawaiian culture.
