Anaina Hou Community Park has opened following the impact from Hurricane Lowell and is providing a familiar place for the community to gather and reconnect.
When Hurricane Lowell impacted Kauaʻi, Anaina Hou Community Park shifted from its daily role as a community park into its emergency role as the Kīlauea Resilience Hub. With many neighbors still facing challenges, Anaina Hou relief efforts remain active.
Contributions allow north shore community outreach and support to continue. Donations can be made online.
The Ahi Lehe Fire Show is a journey through Hawaiian culture and history with fire dancing, storytelling, and the exhilarating beat of Polynesian drumming. It will be showing every Monday and Wednesday.
