ʻAha Mele
Help spread the Aloha Spirit in Washington State
ʻAHA MELE began in 2010 as an annual 'enjoyment of song and music' at Chief Leschi Schools on Puyallup tribal lands on the 2nd Saturday in April. It celebrates the re-awakening of spring and invites the community to gather with friends and family around Hawaiian and Polynesian music and dance, shop the food and craft vendors, attend a cultural workshop and try your luck with the raffle drawing. Admission is by donation and sustains MAWHCC's scholarship and cultural programming.
