ʻImiloa<\/span><\/a>, a world-class center for science education located on the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> campus, is joining the 2023 Merrie Monarch<\/a> festivities with special enrichment workshops and presentations April 12–14, including hula and music, the art of pahu (drum) making, and lauhala and lei workshops.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re delighted to host another year of Merrie Monarch programs at our center for the Hawaiʻi<\/span> community and for those who are visiting Hilo for this internationally acclaimed festival,” said ʻImiloa<\/span> Executive Director Kaʻiu<\/span> Kimura<\/strong>. “We have a diverse offering of programs this year in the mornings and afternoons that we\u2019re sure will be of interest to all ages.”<\/p>\n

All active 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo students who have signed up for a free ʻImiloa<\/span> student membership can receive a discounted rate for all of the programs. Students can stop by the center Thursday–Sunday, 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. to sign up for a membership at the guest service desk.<\/p>\n

A full list of Merrie Monarch Cultural Enrichment Program offerings is available on ʻImiloa<\/span>\u2019s website<\/a>. A reduced special programming fee is available to members.<\/p>\n

Purchased tickets for any Merrie Monarch enrichment program also includes same-day general admission access to ʻImiloa<\/span>\u2019s Exhibit Hall and Planetarium programs.<\/p>\n
