Having a ball

The 1999 Aloha Festivals will conclude its two-month season of festivities on Oct. 29 with a Royal Ball combining, oddly enough, the Victorian era and swinging '40s.

The event, themed Hui Pui ka Hula (Together in Song and Dance) will take place 6 to 11 p.m. at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Tapa Ballroom, featuring the Royal Court dressed in costumes to evoke the monarchy.

There will be a 15-piece band performing a tribute to the Benny Goodman Orchestra, with additional entertainment provided by harpist R. Pumehana Davis, the Honolulu Youth Symphony and Aaron Mahi's Royal Serenaders.

Tickets are $75 and may be purchased through the Aloha Festivals headquarters at Ward Warehouse, 1050 Ala Moana Boulevard. Call 589-1771.
