Final thought… the sleepy town of Hilo is preparing to come alive once again for the annual Merrie Monarch Festival. After forgoing the festival in 2020 due to the pandemic, the hula competition returned in 2021, but to an empty Edith Kanakaʻole Stadium. This year, the weeklong celebration will once again include the popular Arts & Crafts Fair, the Royal Parade and live in-person competition, but only for family members of hula performers and invited guests. The stadium will be roughly at a third capacity, with seats for 2,000 people. Still, flights are full, hotels are busy and restaurants are expecting long lines. Mākaukau? Hilo is ready, willing and more than able.
