Title

Performance at the 1976 Luau

Description

Three sets of couples performing at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1976. Each man wears a straw hat, shorts and an aloha shirt, while the women wear colorful dresses.

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.
