Molokai Ka Hula Piko is an annual festival of the hula, held for three days every spring in Kaana, Molokai.
[1] The first festival was in 1991 by the Molokai Visitors Association and John Kaimikaua, a Kumu Hula.
[2] It is held in annually in Kaana because according to Hawaiian legend, Laka, now regarded as the goddess of hula, created hula at Pu'u Nana, a sacred hill in Kaana, before spreading the art form across the islands.
The festival begins with an early-morning ceremony at Puʻu Nana.
[4] It then continues with a ho'olaule'a, lectures, and other activities intended to educate and spread awareness of hula as an art form.
