A celebration of the gods and goddesses of Hawaii will be threaded throughout the 49th annual Lūʻau & Hōʻike at Linfield University from Saturday, April 30.
Every year, Linfield’s Hui o Lōkahi (formerly Hawai’i Club) shares the culture of the Polynesian islands through food, dance and more. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. performances are available online at www.linfieldtickets.com. Tickets are $25 for general admission and $20 for students with ID, seniors and children 3-12 who need their own seat. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test (taken within 72 hours prior to the event) are required for entry.
