ʻIolani Luahine Hula Festival
The Iolani Luahine Hula Festival was established in 2003 with the goal of perpetuating the hula, and in memory of Iolani Luahine, a great hula dancer and teacher of the mid-20th century. It is held in Kailua Kona, on Luahine’s native Big Island of Hawaii, and draws international as well as local participants. A scholarship is awarded to one of the participants to enable them to continue their study of hula. References. https://web.archive.org/web/20090503151709/http://www.limahula.com/iolani.htm
