Hula Arts At Kīlauea: Hula Kahiko Performance

Situated on Kīlauea volcano the Volcano Art Center (VAC) promotes and perpetuates arts and culture. The dynamic location inspires the sharing of authentic Hula Kahiko performances as well as other arts and traditions of hula. VAC with support from Hawaiʻi Tourism’s Kukulu Ola Program is proud to announce free events which promote and perpetuate Native Hawaiian arts and culture. Join the Volcano Art Center on the second Saturday of each month for a free, live hula performance. The performance is part of a year-round series sponsored by the Volcano Art Center at the kahua hula (hula platform) near the Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Audience members are encouraged to bring sun/rain gear and sitting mats, and to arrive early as parking at the Visitor’s Center is limited, additional parking is available at the Kūkamāhuākea (Steam Vents) parking lot.

Due to ongoing construction in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park we suggest carpooling, arriving early and being prepared to walk from overflow parking areas. National Park Entrance Fees Apply. 

The performance takes place in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, National Park entrance fees apply. The presentation is presented authentically in an outdoor setting, rain or shine without electronic amplification. The Volcano Art Center is a non- profit art and educational organization created in 1974 to promote, develop, and perpetuate the artistic and cultural heritage of Hawai‘i’s people and environment through activities in the visual, literary, and performing arts.
