Anahola Beach Park
Free Event | Drug & Alcohol Free
Join us in celebrating the ocean’s abundance and the rich cultural legacy of limu (seaweed) at the Koʻolau Limu Festival — a community event that honors the traditional limu gatherers of Anahola and uplifts the next generation of ocean stewards.
Hosted at Anahola Beach Park, this family-friendly festival is a vibrant gathering of culture, education, and community. The day will be filled with:
-
Conservation & education booths
-
Live music & hula and Tahitian dance performances
-
Local food vendors & limu tasting
-
Family fun activities
-
Limu lei making & a special ceremony

This is more than a celebration — it's a movement to protect and perpetuate the practices, values, and knowledge of limu and marine conservation rooted in Hawaiian culture.
