For many Hawaiian or Pacific Islander families living in Colorado, home exists somewhere between the family recipes, cultural traditions and stories that have traveled thousands of miles.
This Saturday, one festival organizer hopes to shrink that distance to a short walk through downtown.
Filled with hula, live Hawaiian music, island food and cultural performances, the inaugural E Ola Mau Ka Po’e Festival aims to bring a piece of the Pacific to the Pikes Peak region.
From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., The Lot at Meanwhile Block will host the free event supporting Hawaiian and Polynesian communities who now call Colorado home. https://buff.ly/XwP10De
