Concession table at the Luau

Title

Concession table at the Luau

Description

One of the concession tables at Pacific University's annual Lu'au circa 1969-1970. They appear to be selling a variety of knick-knacks and jewelry imported from Hawaii. The concession tables were a special part of the Lu'au: parents of Hawaiian students would help ship flowers, fruit, and other goods via air from the islands to the university in order to sell at this event.

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.
