Lucky We/You Live Hawaii

The islands of Hawaii are perhaps the most famous islands in the world. Just the word “Hawaii” brings forth images of a tropical paradise. Here is your opportunity to record your thoughts by completing the following...“Lucky we live Hawaii because...” Or...if you live elsewhere in the world and still would like to contribute, you could express why...“lucky YOU live Hawaii because...” Selected entries may be publised for an upcoming book entitled “Lucky WE/YOU Live Hawaii!” Click here to record your thoughts.

A recipient of the prestigious Kahili Award from the Hawaii Tourism Authority in 2005, Celebration of the Arts is Hawaii’s premiere hands-on arts and cultural festival.  Kama’aina (local residents) and visitors are invited to experience the “Hawaiian heart and soul” through interaction with artisans, cultural practitioners, workshops, films, food and music.

Events are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. Among the highlights are the Saturday night Celebration Luau, a Sunday Easter brunch and continuous hula and cultural performances.

We hope to see you here at the AAA Five-Diamond Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua. For additional information, please call 808-669-6200 and speak with the Concierge desk.
