Star-Bulletin staff
The Waimea Valley Audubon Center is inviting Oahu residents to celebrate "a day in the life of Waimea Valley" at a hoolaulea Saturday.
The event is aimed to reintroduce locals to the city-owned Waimea Valley, which the National Audubon Society took over managing in June.
The hoolaulea, which starts at 9:30 am, will include hula, Hawaiian games, building hau boats, crafts, and botanical and historical tours.
An opening ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m.
The admission fee of $5 for adults and $3 for children for local residents goes toward supporting Waimea Valley Audubon Center, a nonprofit organization. Annual passes are available. Center hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
