For the past 40
years, the best hula halau from across Hawaii and around the
world have gathered in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii to
compete in the Merrie Monarch Festival. This "Olympics of
Hula" is the most important and prestigious cultural event in
Hawaii.
Fortunately for people throughout the state who are unable to
attend in person, the pageantry of the Merrie Monarch Festival
hula Competition is broadcast live by KITV 4. Many
thousands of Islanders tune in to the excitement as exquisite
beauty merges with raw power and delicate grace fuses with
soul-stirring passion to create the singular beauty of this
ancient art form.
This 40th
anniversary jubilee includes the entire Merrie Monarch Festival
with bonus highlights from the week long festivities. Over
9 hours in all!
