Sunday, April 26~

Come to ʻImiloa for a day with special enhancement activities, centered around our kai and lawaiʻa practices. This community-centered event is inspired by the Hawaiian ʻōlelo noʻeau:
“E ʻAi Kekahi, E Kāpī Kekahi”, which reminds us of balance, restraint, and our kuleana through fishing traditions.

Grounded in the ʻōlelo noʻeau that encourages mindful harvest—“eat some, salt some”—this event invites our guests to explore Hawaiian perspectives on conservation, sustainability, and the passing down of ʻike across generations.

We also celebrate and mahalo the Explorers of Lawaiʻa exhibit for sharing their space with our community, as this will be the final day to experience the exhibit.

Come visit us on Sunday, April 26!
