It takes a village!
Hele mai Kūlana Lei, a village of Hawaiian artisans, as they share their talents and skills with exhibits and demonstrations throughout the day (10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). While at Kūlana Lei, have the mo‘opuna (grandchildren) - come visit Tūtū (grandmother) at Tūtū’s Hale for Nā Mea Hawai‘i (Hawaiiana) activities. Be sure to visit our two picture stops to make photo memories to share with family and friends. In addition to Kūlana Lei, craft, lei and food vendors will also be in the park all day.
