Merrie Monarch Festival Hula Kane Halau

The Merrie Monarch is named after our beloved King David Kalakaua, the monarch who restored hula and many other traditions after missionaries tried to suppress them. Each year in Hilo, the Merrie Monarch Festival celebrates hula and Hawaiian culture. I am fortunate to live 15 miles from Hilo on the Big Island.
Men's hula is formally known as Hula Kane
