Musicians preparing for the Luau

Title

Musicians preparing for the Luau

Description

A group of male students, some of whom are holding guitars, preparing to sing for one of Pacific University's annual Lu'aus. This photograph was likely taken circa 1972-1973. This photograph may have been taken during a rehearsal, a few hours before the actual Lu'au performance.

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.
