HOʻOLŌKAHI, HOʻOKŪPAʻA, HOʻOHOLOMUA.
THE 25TH ANNUAL NATIVE HAWAIIAN CONVENTION
is coming to the Neal S. Blaisdell Center this July, and we want you there.
Kick off Convention with us on Monday, July 20 for a full day of Pre-Convention cultural workshops, featuring Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners, or join us on one of our four huaka’i experiences.
Then join us Tuesday, July 21–Wednesday, July 22 for plenary sessions, breakout discussions, evening workshops, networking, live music, a pau hana bar, and our beloved Mākeke — a marketplace celebrating Native Hawaiian artisans, makers, and entrepreneurs.
This year we are also proud to host the Miss & Master Keiki Hula competition at the Blaisdell Arena. Our keiki and their hālau will take the stage Thursday and Friday evenings, July 23–24, with the ʻĀuana competition and awards ceremony closing out the weekend on Saturday, July 25.
