Boulder is going Hawaiian for a weekend of dance, music, talk story, crafts and food during the Colorado Aloha Festival (coloradoalohafest.com).
The fun begins on Friday, Sept. 17, when local hula school Mauna Pohaku presents a concert at CUs Macky Auditorium. In addition to more than 40 adult and keiki (children) dancers, the concert will feature 5-time Grammy Award winner Daniel Ho and composer, author, and kumu hula (hula master) Loea Hewett. Loea will emcee, providing background about the dances and chants both ancient and modern as well as delight the audience with ukulele (Ho) and song (Hewett). The concert starts at 7pm, and tickets are available for purchase in advance on the website.
On Saturday, September 18, the CU Buffaloes football team will play the University of Hawaii (UH) Warriors at Folsom Field. Mauna Pohaku dancers will be joined by dancers from Kahalui, Maui, and local hula schools at the halftime performance during the game, which is tentatively scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN (check local listings for time).
Expect lots of UH fans in town at the game and at the Twenty Ninth Street Mall, where the festival will have free cultural workshops, music, and Pacific Islander performances all day and continuing on Sunday. Vendors, many coming from Hawaii, will be selling everything you need to keep you in the aloha spirit year-round, including fine art, jewelry, leis, clothing, and music.
