In celebration of the March 1871 birth of Hawai‘i Prince Jonah K"hi#
Kalaniana‘ole, Royal Hawaiian Center joins the Association of Hawaiian
Civic Clubs in a day of Hawaiian arts: folk, fine, and performing, Hawaiian
music, and traditional and modern hula. Demonstrations and displays will
fill The Royal Grove with the sites and sounds of old Hawai‘i. Prince K"hi#
was a nephew of King Kal!kaua and Queen Kapi‘olani. After the
overthrow, the Prince became Hawai‘i’s second delegate to the U. S.
Congress. The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921 and the
Hawaiian Civic Clubs movement are legacies of Prince Kalaniana‘ole. His
home was named Pualeilani, meaning “royal garland of flowers,” and was
located in Waik$k$ at what is now K"hi# Beach. The Pualeilani Festival of
Arts is part of the month-long Prince K"hi# Festival.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit
