Sharpen those hula dancing skills, grab the sunblock and grass skirts, and come out to Tempe Beach Park on March 10-11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the Arizona Aloha Festival. Admission is free.
This two-day event brings the feel of the islands to the Mill Avenue District, featuring island foods, a raffle for trips to Hawaii, and more activities for all ages. Island-themed food and goods will also be available, and guests are invited to try the famous Hawaiian “plate lunch,” tropical fruits, island beef stew, Guamanian chicken, and more.
The event will also feature live performances, including storytellers, Tahitian drummers, slack key guitarists, and French Polynesian dancers.
The Aloha Festival is held annually to raise awareness about both Hawaiian and Pacific Islander culture and heritage.

My wife and I enjoyed the food when we lived in Hawaii. In fact, our neighbors who were native Hawaiians insisted we throw a traditional first birthday luau for our youngest son who was born there while I was in the Air Force.
The husband's uncle supplied the poi (ugh!), sold us a 200 pound pig, and also cooked the traditional Phillipino dishes. The wife's father who was a full blooded Hawaiian had retired from Dole provided the pineapples and ti leaves for the lau laus which he prepared. They also did the slow pit cooked BBQ. Everyone had a blast. Our neighbor's daughter who was a professional hula dancer also provided free entertainment. Those were the good old days when everybody pitched in to help each other.
We will definitely try to make it. Most folks don't know that there are large populations of islanders on the mainland who moved away because of the job market and high cost of living in Hawaii. every year, many of them return to the big island to participate in the annual hula contest in April. It is really interesting if you have an opportunity to attend the event.
