πββοΈ Big Drama: Free Waikiki Hula Show Might Catch Legal Heat πΊ
Y’all heard the latest tea? That fresh, free Waikiki hula show, “Kilohana Hula Show,” just popped off on February 15th at the Waikiki Shell Amphitheater. This vibe is for everybody, happening from Sunday to Thursday at 9:30 a.m. β perfect for the early birds tryna catch that morning glow. π π¦
But this ainβt just any hula gig. It’s a collab between the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement and the City and County of Honolulu, trying to bring back that iconic Kodak Hula Show vibe from the 1930s, but with todayβs flavor. Kuhio Lewis, the big boss at CNHA, says the show’s pulling in crowds of 400 to 500 daily, locals and tourists alike. π΄π
Now, hereβs where things get sticky. To keep the showβs lights on, costing about $130,000 a month, CNHA’s thinking about evening events to bring in some cash. But they’re making it clear these wonβt be your average luaus. Theyβre aiming to roll these out right after the Merrie Monarch Festival, trying to get things moving fast, even though the full planβs still on the low. ππ°
But, thereβs a bump in the road. The Kapiolani Park Preservation Society, all about keeping Kapiolani Park free and open for the public, ain’t having it. Theyβre saying turning the park into a commercial spot is out of pocket, against what itβs meant for. This group is all in on saving the park for the future, keeping it clear of business moves. ππ³
This tension might just hit the courtroom, as KPPS is gearing up to protect the parkβs essence. Theyβre not about seeing the park get lost to business plans. Meanwhile, CNHA is all βweβre just here to celebrate and share Hawaiian culture,β not looking to start any beef. ποΈπ€
So, what’s the move? Will this end up in a legal showdown at the Shell, or can everyone come to a peace that works for all? Stay tuned, βcause this storyβs just getting started. ππ₯

πββοΈ Big Trouble: Free Waikiki Hula Show Might Face Legal Drama πΊ
Have you caught up with the latest drama? The brand new, free Waikiki hula show, known as the “Kilohana Hula Show,” officially kicked off on February 15th at the Waikiki Shell Amphitheater. This show is open to everyone and takes place from Sunday to Thursday at 9:30 a.m. β the perfect way to kickstart your day if youβre an early riser. π π¦
But this isnβt just any regular hula performance. It’s a collaborative project between the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement and the City and County of Honolulu, aimed at reviving the spirit of the historic Kodak Hula Show from the 1930s, but with a modern flair. Kuhio Lewis, CEO of CNHA, reports that the show has been attracting crowds of 400 to 500 daily, drawing in both tourists and locals. π΄π
Now, here’s where the plot thickens. To cover the show’s hefty monthly expenses of about $130,000, CNHA has proposed holding revenue-generating events in the evenings. However, theyβve clarified these won’t be your typical luaus. They plan to launch these events shortly after the Merrie Monarch Festival, hoping for a quick start, though the specifics are still up in the air. ππ°
Yet, thereβs a hitch. The Kapiolani Park Preservation Society, fervent advocates for keeping Kapiolani Park free and accessible to the public, are raising their voices in protest. They argue that turning the park into a commercial venue goes against its intended purpose as a public space. This group is committed to preserving the parkβs openness for future generations, away from the encroachment of commercial activities. ππ³
This brewing conflict might soon escalate to the courts, as KPPS is ready to battle to protect the parkβs sanctity. They want to avoid the park becoming overrun with commercial ventures. On the flip side, CNHA insists their aim is solely to share and celebrate Hawaiian culture, not to stir up any disputes. ποΈπ€
So, whatβs next? Will this issue result in a legal showdown at the Shell, or will the parties find a compromise that works for everyone? This saga is just starting to unfold. ππ₯
