Aloha Festivals, Hawai‘i’s longest running cultural festival, returns in 2023 with its month-long celebration of the spirit of aloha and the diverse traditions and cultures of the islands. Aloha Festivals will officially kick off on the 9th of September 2023, continuing a treasured Hawai‘i tradition that has existed since 1946.
Building on last year’s theme, Aloha ‘Āina, Aloha Festivals will continue to explore the integral relationship that all people have with the land with its 2023 theme Piliʻāina – to have kinship with the land. Pili means to have a personal connection to or close relationship with someone or something, and this theme encourages people to reconnect with their natural surroundings in both old and new ways.
