Aloha Kakou,
The Kava Festival, also known in Hawai'i as the 'Awa Festival, features many aspects of 'awa as central to culture for Hawai'i and the Pacific Islands.
Live local music from Hawai'i's hottest music groups, educational and cultural booths, 'awa sampling, 'awa plants, preparation demos, pa'i'ai/poi pounding, food booths, and Hawai'i's 'awa serving bars and cafes will also be serving the public. Taking notes of this include the Honolulu Advertiser, KHPR's, Noe Tanigawa's, "radio with vision" (mp3), and KGMB-TV.
At the conclusion of the festival we will also host a scientific conference the next day. Presenters are welcome.
Finally please enjoy our new t-shirt designs courtesy of Matthew "Chuna-Boy" Kaopio and Dietrich Varez. Reserve your quantity and sizes early.
I Maluhia ka Honua (So that the world may be at peace). We need your support.
