Trade the high desert of the Verde Valley for a vibrant island getaway on the afternoon of Saturday, June 13th.
From 1 to 3 PM, the Verde Village Community Connection (VVCC) invites guests on a sensory journey to the heart of Hawai’i, blending traditional flavors and community spirit with the captivating art of the hula.
This afternoon features the graceful movements of Hālau Hula Nāpuaokaleiʻilima led by the esteemed Hula Master Kēhau Chrisman.
She is a dedicated steward of Hawaiian culture, and her local students will perform many of the same dances that recently garnered praise at the Aloha Festival in Tempe along with traditional favorites.
Throughout the performance, Kēhau will share the history and stories woven into each dance, offering guests a deeper understanding of the spirit of aloha.
The luau features a kid-friendly menu designed to satisfy all ages.
Guests can enjoy the smoky sweetness of Teriyaki Chicken skewers, fresh Veggie Cups, classic Hawaiian pizza, and to beat the afternoon heat, refreshing Hawaiian Shaved Ice.
Beyond the festivities, the event serves as a vital fundraiser to support the VVCC’s ongoing operating expenses and major repairs.
Guests can participate in a Wine Raffle featuring a curated selection of Riesling, Red, Rosé, Merlot, and White wines from celebrated local vineyards, including Merkin, Javalina Leap, and Provisioner.
With bottles valued at up to $35, raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $25.
