The festivities include a melodious mix of tunes from the fabled Royal Hawaiian Band, VIP and local celebrity appearances, and most importantly hundreds of kūpuna boogying down on the dance floor! There will be plenty of dancing opportunities with ballroom hits, line dancing, and loads of pop music.
Mahalo to additional support from Wellcare by ‘Ohana Health Plan.
