Seasons and the Sea

Join us as we celebrate an important date in the Hawaiian calendar marking the change from the wet (ho‘olio) to dry (kau) season. From 2 to 5 p.m. on the Aquarium grounds, you can learn about Hawaiian fishponds, native plants and the best days to fish and plant according to the phases of the Hawaiian moon. Keiki crafts include lauhala weaving, kukui nut tops and limu stamping. Participating organizations include Paepae O He‘eia, Prince Kuhio Hawaiian Civic Club, Hui Ku Maoli Ola and Bishop Museum Press. Sponsored in part by the Hawaii Tourism Authority. Free with admission. At 6 p.m., join us on the ewa side of the Waikīkī Aquarium, where Kumu ‘Ohu Gon and Halau Mele will conclude this special event by officially welcoming in the new season through chant, hula and mo‘olelo (story telling) as the sun sets into the crown of Pu‘u Kapolei.
