MERRIE MONARCH HULA PHOTOS AND VIDEOS

Hula events take place all week during Merrie Monarch in Hilo. The hotels turn their lobbies into performance spaces and invite local hula schools to perform. The unukupukupu or chanting hula is my favorite. This site has pictures and videos of hula in the Hilo hotels during the week of the 2008 Merrie Monarch.
