The Keauhou Beach Resort has announced its third annual E Mau Ana Ka Hula, which takes place Nov. 21 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Halau from Hawaii Island and Oahu will perform at the resort, where a replica of King Kalakaua’s (Hawaii’s last king) summer cottage still stands. Presentation of ho`okupu (gifts) to Laka, the goddess of hula, will begin the day-long festivities in the resort’s Royal Luau Grounds, followed by halau performances. Refreshments, Hawaiian lauhala, pahu (drum), shell, feather lei and other arts and crafts will be available for purchase.

The celebration of hula will actually begin on Nov. 20 with a day of learning. For $30 per person, students will learn from three of the festival’s kumu hula. Registration and payment of the fee will begin at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 20.

Space is limited, and registration will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
