South Pacific Cultural Center in Waikiki
The Kodak Hula Show and the Pleasant Hawaiian Hula
Show are no longer staging free hula performances
near the Waikiki Shell, but now there is a new
Polynesian show and bazaar at that location on
the island of Oahu.
On February 15, 2006 Maikai Enterprises opened
an arts and crafts market and cultural center naer
the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu.
It has been named the "South Pacific Cultural Center",
and it will feature a Hawaiian buffet dinner and
Polynesian show at night and a swap-meet like Polynesian
bazaar and craft demonstrations during the day. The
center will feature the cultures of Hawaii, Fiji,
Tonga, Samoa, the Maori, and other parts of Polynesia.
During the day there will be vendor booths and demonstrations
of hula and Polynesian, games, coconut husking,
fire making, basket weaving, tiki carving, and
Polynesian crats. There will be 20 to 50 booths
in a 2.5 acre area. The vendors are expected to
be similar to those at the International Marketplace.
Evening entertainment at the center will begin in March of 2006.
A Hawaiian buffet dinner will be served at 6 pm that will
probably cost about $30, and there will be a Polynesian show
from 7 to 8:30 pm. Chief Sielu Avea, formerly a entertaining and amusing
fire dancer at Polynesian Cultural Center's Horizons show,
is heading up the entertainment. He also conducted
the tours atthe Macadamia Nut Farm near Kualoa Regional Park.
Admission to the grounds is free. The center will be
closed on evenings when other events are booked at the
Waikiki Shell. For more information contact the
South Pacific Cultural Center at 808-922-3705.
