There are many luaus out there for you to enjoy. Some of them can last up to 3 hours, but most only take about 2 1/2 -3 Hours! This includes greeting guests and seating everyone at their table before starting dinner around 8 p.m., followed by drinks (including mai tais!), showtime with performances from dancers wearing colorful outfits as well showing off some local cuisine like spam musubi ( rice wrapped in nori seaweed paper ) or bbqs served on skewers that look tasty enough even without all those toppings we put on top including coleslaw sauce+teriyaki sauce
