The George Na'ope Hula Festival

09/12/2024

🌺 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🌺

The George Na’ope Hula Festival has a NEW home! 🏨✨ Join us August 8-10, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Sacramento! 🌸

This move has been in the works for years, and we’re so excited for the change! Moving a festival of our size is no small feat, and required flexibility on both sides – including adjusting the dates to fit the new venue’s schedule. We understand this is a shift, especially with school and other events, but it was necessary to make this incredible change happen!

We can’t wait to see you at our new venue and experience all the amazing accommodations it has to offer!
