A huge mahalo to Hālau Wehiwehi O Leilehua for their beautiful performance, and to Kitoko’s, Outrigger Pizza, Maui Cones, Dolish, and Hapa Hour for providing the delicious food and drinks. Special thanks as well to Marvin Tavega for the sunset music and to all the conservation organizations that hosted booths.
