Hilo’s iconic hula week and island traditions
A week of hula, crafts, and Hawaiian culture fills Hilo—performances, fairs, and community events that make the Big Island feel instantly local.
Event details
Hilo’s Merrie Monarch Festival is spring on the Big Island at full volume: hula, music, and a town-wide feeling that you’ve stepped into living history. Even if you don’t have tickets for the evening competitions, the daytime scene—craft browsing, cultural showcases, and community events—makes it easy for families to join the celebration.Base yourself near Hilo Bay, pair festival time with waterfall drives and rainforest walks, then come back to town for another dose of chant, dance, and aloha spirit.
