2nd Annual Nā Moʻolelo Hawaiʻi

The 2nd Annual Nā Moʻolelo Hawaiʻi Cultural Celebration on Saturday, October 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Windward Mall Center Court, is a fundraiser for Paepae o He’eia and Koʻolau ʻĀina Aloha. Matson and Elks Lodge 616 join Windward Mall as primary sponsors of the event. The free, family-friendly event celebrates the rich tradition of storytelling and its lasting significance in preserving culture, strengthening community connections, and deepening the pilina of the people and places of Hawaiʻi. Throughout the day, guests will enjoy a variety of cultural activities, storytelling presentations, interactive experiences, and educational opportunities designed to engage participants of all ages. The event brings together storytellers, cultural practitioners, artists, and community members in a shared celebration of ʻike, imagination, and heritage. In Hawaiian culture, storytelling serves as more than oral history. Stories carry knowledge, values, and lessons connecting generations together to the places they call home. Nā Moʻolelo Hawaiʻi provides a unique opportunity for families to experience these traditions in an engaging and accessible way. Purchase your mask decorating kits here!
