49th Annual Prince Lot Hula Festival
July 17, 6:00am – July 18, 2026, 1:00pm
The 49th Annual Prince Lot Hula Festival honors Prince Lot Kapuāiwa for his efforts to preserve and revitalize hula, chant, and Native Hawaiian cultural practices during a time when they were discouraged in Hawaiʻi. Recognized as Hawaiʻi’s largest non-competitive hula festival, the event features performances by renowned hālau hula, live Hawaiian music, cultural demonstrations, local artisans, food vendors, and family-friendly cultural experiences. This year’s festival will be held at Ka Lewa Lānai at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikīkī.
