Event Details
Bring the kiddies and join us at the park for two days of very special performances by Alameda’s only Polynesian cultural arts center, Halau Makana. Be moved like the water and go with the flow as you’re invited to experience the traditional music and dance of Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Maori cultures.
