Na Kupuna
Molokai is known for its friendly nature and authentic experiences, and one of the best examples of this community’s unique spirit is the weekly Aloha Friday Sunset Celebration.
Every Friday (also known as Aloha Friday), the charming Hotel Molokai comes alive with a joyful gathering featuring one of Hawaii’s most unique musical collectives. The Na Kupuna are a band of Hawaiian “aunties” who first got together about a decade ago. The group has evolved and grown from five members to around sixteen today. The result is a wall of music and dance and joy. The group also shares its considerable manao (wisdom) through engaging and entertaining stories about Molokai’s culture.
Tip: Come early for the best seats, and stay late for the most fun!
In addition to the wonderful Na Kupuna, the celebration includes an age-old island torch lighting ceremony and local crafts.
The event takes place at the Hotel Molokai’s open-air restaurant, Hula Shores.
