Kalua pig roast

Title

Kalua pig roast

Description

Several men assist with the outdoor kalua pig roast at Pacific University's annual Lu'au, possibly in 1986. The pig is wrapped in chicken wire.

Pacific University began hosting an annual Lu'au in 1961. Student members of Na Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) organized and performed in the event, raising money for scholarships. The Lu'au included a dinner, sales of leis and other products flown in from Hawai'i, and performances of Pacific island dances. The Lu'au is normally held on the second Saturday in April in Washburne Hall. The name of the event was changed to Lu'au and Ho'ike in 2019.
