The Kalihi-Pālama Culture & Arts Society presents the annual Queen Lili‘uokalani Keiki Hula Competition. The public is invited to attend as more than 500 young hula dancers compete in the world’s longest running keiki hula event. The dancers, ages 6 to 12, represent 20 hula hālau from O‘ahu, Maui, Kaua‘i, and Hawaiʻi Island. The public is also invited to visit the Exhibition Hall for a Pop-Up Mākeke showcasing local artisans and crafts, the Paikini Plaza featuring many of Hawaiʻi’s renowned clothing designers, and an exhibit of Hawaiʻi’s royal family treasures and other historic memorabilia, plus more hula and Hawaiian music throughout the day.  The three-day schedule is as follows:

  • Soloists will vie for the titles of Miss Keiki Hula and Master Keiki Hula on the first night of competition, followed by the award presentation.
  • The Kahiko (traditional hula) group competition for kaikamāhine (girls) and keikikāne (boys) will take place on the second night.
  • The ʻAuana (contemporary hula) group competition for kaikamāhine and keikikāne will take place on the third day, followed by the award presentation.
