Unique Festival to Celebrate the Hawaiian Culture The 20th edition of the World Invitational Hula Festival will be held from November 10-12, 2011, at Waikiki Shell in Honolulu, Hawai'i. The World Invitational Hula Festival is also known as ‘E Ho'i Mai I Ka Piko Hula’, and is held every year. This is a unique festival, which is held to celebrate the Hawaiian history, art, culture, relationship and language. The festival brings all the Hawaiians together from across the world binding them through the art of Hula.

The festival is also a moment to reflect on and appreciate the efforts of the Hawaiian conservators of the 'aina (land), and to protect, preserve and enhance the Hawaiian culture and 'aina.
