Theme: Hahai nō ka ua i ka ululāʻau – “Rains always follow the forest”

The rains are attracted to forest trees. Knowing this, Hawaiians hewed only the trees that were needed. This ʻōlelo noʻeau reflects the deep understanding that Native Hawaiians held for generations prior to the industrialization-mindset that arrived with foreigners. Not only did Native Hawaiians once effectively steward their forested zones for maximum production of water and resources, they also cultivated and managed their own “forests” to intentionally engineer weather systems that improved the fecundity of the land, swelled the waterways, and created pleasant living environments. The famed Maluʻuluolele is an example of one such ululāʻau (forest). The theme, “Hahai nō ka Ua i ka Ululāʻau – Rains Always Follow the Forests,” connects the present generations of Hawaiʻi with those of the past regarding the State of Hawaiʻi’s 2025 Year of Our Community Forests, while also deepening our understanding of what is possible through pono stewardship of Hawaiʻi’s invaluable forest resources.

The Festivals of Aloha is a tradition going back to 1946 and celebrates Hawaiian culture, traditions, and the spirit of aloha
