Dinner at the 1977 Luau

Description

Attendees eat dinner at Pacific University's 1977 annual Lu'au. The stage backdrop, which depicts a catamaran sailing on the ocean, appears in the background.

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.
