"We are pleased to announce for the first time since the pandemic began, Make-A-Wish Hawaii’s annual WISH! gala is returning to an in-person celebration of hope and inspiration on Saturday, May 6 at the Sheraton Waikiki! As we celebrate and honor 40 years of transforming lives across the state through the power of a wish—a milestone we achieved together last year—we remain committed to granting the wish of every eligible child, today and into the future. This year’s theme, WISH! Into the Future, reflects our commitment to this vision. The annual WISH! gala is among Make-A-Wish Hawaii’s most important annual fundraisers, bringing together dedicated supporters committed to making a difference in the lives of wish keiki and their families through their generous support. Your partnership is vital in creating life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses. With your help, we can ensure no child will have to wait one day longer than necessary to experience the transformative power of a wish. Together, we can deliver hope for brighter days in their future. "

"Yes, it's got the famous surf breaks, swinging beach parties, and Le‘ahi (or Diamond Head State Monument), the picturesque volcanic cone that rises just south of Waikiki. But Hawaii's capital has always been about more than its postcard image. Sitting at the crossroads of the Pacific, it has midcentury-Americana touches that adjoin Buddhist temples from the early 1900s and a polyglot food scene influenced by Filipino, Japanese, and Korean cuisine."

"For decades, however, key voices have been missing from the city's narrative: those of Native Hawaiians. That's changing, with new spaces and initiatives that embrace Indigenous culture and lend a platform to the islands' artists. The Hawai‘i Triennial 2022, on exhibit through May 8, brings this trend to the forefront, inviting local leaders and international artists to explore concepts of in-betweenness throughout Honolulu"

The city that has become a stealth cultural powerhouse
"Exploring the concept of the “Pacific Century,” the Hawai‘i Triennial 2022 will be displayed until May at sites like the historic ‘Iolani Palace, while other new museums and experiences let visitors dive into Hawaiian history anytime...
...end any day onboard the new Kamoauli, a traditional Polynesian wooden double-hulled sailing canoe, offering sunset sails and a chance to learn about poi and hula."
"For a deeper dive into Polynesian culture, sign up for a sail with Kamoauli. The expedition aboard an all- wood, double-hulled, traditional canoe includes demonstrations and explanations of local history and mythology. The boat, known as a wa’a kaulua, is the only U.S. Coast Guard– certified Polynesian watercraft of its kind."
