Polynesian, Tiki, and Aloha Festivals Offer Visual Feast
California has the largest Polynesian population of any mainland state in the U.S., though it is relatively small compared to other ethnicities and cultures. There is nothing little about festivals that celebrate traditional dance, however. Showcased through music and songs, these spectacular competitions and events will make you say, “Wow!”
What a treat to see staged events that include colorful headdress, skirts, loin cloths, and the most beautiful, flowing hair worn by women and girls! Top dance performers internationally live in California, recognized for its ‘Aloha’ spirit and gracious audiences that welcome the entertaining shows.
