Join ʻImiloa as we come together to honor Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea and reflect on the resilience of our lāhui. This day marks a significant moment in Hawaiʻi's history, a time to remember the restoration of sovereignty and to carry that spirit forward into how we care for our people, our places, and our future.

This gathering is for the whole ʻohana. Whether you're bringing keiki, kūpuna, or friends new to these stories, there's a place for everyone here. Throughout the afternoon, you'll find hands-on crafts designed to connect learning with meaning, a scavenger hunt that turns the center into a space of discovery, and a photo booth to capture the day with the people you came with.

We're also honored to feature Kanaeokana heat transfers, giving you a way to take a piece of this celebration home with you, along with a film screening presented by ʻŌiwi TV that brings these histories to life on screen. Throughout the event, you'll have the chance to learn more about the history of Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea itself, understanding not just what happened, but why it continues to matter today.

This year holds extra significance as ʻImiloa celebrates 20 years of serving Hawaiʻi Island, and this gathering reflects the same values that have guided the center since its founding: stewardship, education, and a deep respect for Hawaiian knowledge and identity. He ʻaʻaliʻi kū makani, like the shrub that bends but does not break in the wind, this event is a celebration of that same strength within our community.

Come spend the afternoon with us. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your ʻohana, and leave with a deeper connection to the resilience and future of Hawaiʻi.
