Flashback to a time before Corona Virus. May Day by the Bay was held at the Wai’oli Beach Park at Hanalei Bay. Just the year before, massive floods swept through many parts of Kaua’i including the Hanalei area destroying property and devastating lives and livelihoods. Through flood relief efforts and the outpouring of support from the community, Hanalei seems to be back on its feet.

Mahalo nui loa to Koko and Julie Kaneali’i and the team of sponsors for organising this community event. Mahalo nui loa to 4 Word Nation, Hālau Hula O Hanalei, Hōkū Zuttermeister, Ho’okena and Maila Gibson.

And last but not least, mahalo nui loa to our Kumu Hula, Kumu Leihi’ilani Kirkpatrick and Hula Hālau Ka Lei Kukui Hi’ilani together with musicians Darryl Gonzales, Malia Kerr and Loke Sasil.
