Upcoming Polynesian Festival

Thanks to Gregg Porter for posting this on the NW Hawaiian mailing list:

More details will be forthcoming, but I wanted to start confirming
the rumors that have been floating around --- there will be a four-
day festival of Hawaiian music, hula & culture on Washington State's
Olympic Peninsula at the beginning of October.

The Olympic Festival of Polynesian Arts and Culture will be centered
on workshops by acclaimed musicians Keoki Kahumoku, Herb Ohta, Jr.
and Sonny Lim. The workshops will be held at The Inn at Port Hadlock;
there will also be connected events at The Upstage Theatre &
Restaurant in Port Townsend.

Events will begin Thursday, October 2, with an opening celebration
concert; there will also be a lu`au on Friday night, a jam session on
Saturday night, and a closing concert Sunday night. Workshops will be
held during the day on Friday, October 3 through Sunday, October 5.

There will be a special lodging deal at The Inn at Port Hadlock for
workshop attendees; information on workshop, event and lodging prices
will be announced shortly, and registration will begin August 15.
This event is co-sponsored by Hawaii Music Live, The Inn at Port
Hadlock and Discovery Arts.
