A moratorium, rooted in mālama ʻāina.

Effective immediately, the Merrie Monarch Festival, together with the 2027 judges and kumu hula, announce a 3-year pause on the use of palapalai, maile, and lehua — starting with the 2027 festival.

Our forests carry the resources we depend on.

Ka La ‘Ōnohi Mai O Ha’eha’e
Nā Kumu Tracie & Keawe Lopes Pū’ahu’ula, Ko’olaupoko, O’ahu
“Nuku O Nu’uanu”
This song was penned by “Hawai’i’s Song Bird,” Lena Machado and celebrates the “Nuku O Nu’uanu,” commonly recognized as the Nu’uanu Pali Lookout. From her vantage point, she offers a stunning perspective of the Ko’olau side of the island of O’ahu where our hālau hula is located. The mountains are graced with a cool and misty rain and Mōkapu is clearly seen lying there in the distance.
