ʻImiloa<\/span><\/a>, a world-class center for science education located on the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> campus, is joining the 2023 Merrie Monarch<\/a> festivities with special enrichment workshops and presentations April 12–14, including hula and music, the art of pahu (drum) making, and lauhala and lei workshops.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re delighted to host another year of Merrie Monarch programs at our center for the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> community and for those who are visiting Hilo for this internationally acclaimed festival,” said ʻImiloa<\/span> Executive Director Kaʻiu<\/span> Kimura<\/strong>. “We have a diverse offering of programs this year in the mornings and afternoons that we\u2019re sure will be of interest to all ages.”<\/p>\n

All active UH<\/abbr> Hilo students who have signed up for a free ʻImiloa<\/span> student membership can receive a discounted rate for all of the programs. Students can stop by the center Thursday–Sunday, 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. to sign up for a membership at the guest service desk.<\/p>\n

A full list of Merrie Monarch Cultural Enrichment Program offerings is available on ʻImiloa<\/span>\u2019s website<\/a>. A reduced special programming fee is available to members.<\/p>\n

Purchased tickets for any Merrie Monarch enrichment program also includes same-day general admission access to ʻImiloa<\/span>\u2019s Exhibit Hall and Planetarium programs.<\/p>\n

Seating is limited. Due to the popular demand for cultural programming, visitors are strongly encouraged to make online reservations prior to visiting ʻImiloa<\/span>. Walk-ups will be accommodated based on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n

In addition to Merrie Monarch Cultural Enrichment Programming, ʻImiloa<\/span> is hosting “The Science of Kapa” traveling exhibit in the exhibit hall through June 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
