 | This annual outdoor celebration takes place on the second Saturday in October inKoke'e State Park, Kaua'i, Hawaii. It is a joyous commemoration of the journey ofQueen Emma Naea Rooke in 1871 to the upper reaches of Kilohana Viewpoint. At the festival, a woman from the Halau and an entourage re-enact Queen Emma's entrance to the mountain meadow, where they are greeted by hula dancers who offer ancient chants and special dances to the party. The day's activities also include demonstrations of local crafts, including lauhala (fan and mat) weaving and Ni'ihau shell lei-making.
