This year, in conjunction with the annual film festival, Kaululehua HCC is proud to host a three-day long cultural experience like no other here in the Bay Area. Beginning on Friday, September 26 at 8:00pm, the CulturalCenter presents Hula 2500 Miles From, a presentation on how hula in the Bay Area has survied in the Bay Area so far from Hawai`i. The Cultural Conference culminates on Sunday, September 28 at 4pm an exciting presentation on Hula. An introspective look into different types of Hula, Oli & Mele (traditional chant & songs), Protocol, Lei Styles and Lole (hula attire) including hula demonstrations and story telling.

Kawika Alfiche, Kumu Hula of Halau O Keikiali'i and Director of Kaululehua HCC, states, "This festival provides a voice to the Hawaiian community on the mainland and, through each film and conference event, presents a unique opportunity for Hawaiians to tell their stories, and share their language, culture, and history with everyone."

The KaululehuaHawaiianCulturalCenter was established in 2000 with the mission of preserving and perpetuating all things Hawaiian. The mission of World Arts West is to honor and celebrate culturally diverse dance forms through presentation, education and support of artists and their traditions.
