Makahiki ma Kapolei
Makahiki ma Kapolei is held on the first Saturday of February every year at Pu‘uokapolei. It’s a free and open event to the public. The event brings together the westside community in a cultural celebration of plenty and peace. As done in earlier times, and likely on this very site of Pu‘uokapolei, the day is filled with mele and games. Games include ulu maika (stone disk rolling), moa pāhe‘e (dart sliding), hukihuki (tug-of-war), kūkini (foot racing), ‘ō‘ō ‘ihe (spear throwing), and hāpai pōhaku (stone carrying).
The event is free and open to the public.
