(I can tell you it’s way more comfortable to watch from home than to sit on those hard chairs for 6+ hours, though there really is nothing like being in Hilo during Merrie Monarch. If I can find a YouTube video, I will share the cutest one from Mark Keli’ihoʻomalu; it was a kāne hula (menʻs hula) of 1890’s Honolulu newspaper boys. So so fun! Plus I leaned something new about King Kalākaua.
