Merrie Monarch Festival
event
The annual Merrie Monarch Hula Festival
in Hilo, Big Island of Hawaii, is a week long festival of cultural
events including Hawaii’s most prestigious hula competitions
at Edith Kanaka’ole stadium. The hula festival takes place
the week after Easter. It begins with a Ho’olaule’a
on Moku Ola (Coconut Island) on Easter Sunday in Hilo with lots
of music, food and fun. On Wednesday there is a free hula exhibition
night at the stadium that begins at 6:30pm. Thursday is the solo
Miss Aloha Hula competition, where each dancer performs both hula
kahiko (ancient hula) and hula `auana (modern hula). Friday and
Sat are the group Kahiki (ancient) and Auana (modern) hula competition.
A grand parade takes place through Hilo town Sat morning.
The Merrie Monarch
Festival has led to a renaissance of the Hawaiian culture that is
being passed on from generation to generation. The festival includes
art exhibits, craft fairs, demonstrations, performances, a parade
that emphasizes the cultures of Hawaii, and a three-day hula competition
that has received worldwide recognition for its historic and cultural
significance.
In preparation of the Merrie Monarch
Festival, hula studios and instructors in Hawaii and on the U.S.
Mainland hold classes, workshops, and seminars throughout the year
to teach the art of hula, the meaning of Hawaiian chants and songs,
the Hawaiian language, the making of Hawaiian clothing and crafts,
and the history of the Hawaiian people.
History of the Merrie
Monarch Hula Festival
The Merrie Monarch Festival
began in 1964 and has evolved into what is now considered to be
the world's most prestigious hula competition. The festival is named
in honor of King David Kalakaua, the last king of the Hawaiian islands,
whose coronation in 1883 included public displays of hula, which
had long been buried under rules imposed by Hawaiian missionaries.
Kalakaua ruled for seventeen years. His reign was marked by a resurgence
in Hawaiian culture, music and included numerous public performances
of hula. Because of his love of dance and music, Kalakaua was nicknamed,
"the Merrie Monarch." In his memory and in celebration
of Hawaiian culture, dance and music, the Merrie Monarch Festival
is held each year.
