Statewide Ka Pewa Youth Summit Kupu Kelakela returns April 28 to Līhuʻe

Mark April 28 on your calendar: Ka Pewa Youth Summit - Kupu Kelakela, the second statewide edition of the program, will be held at the Kauaʻi War Memorial Convention Hall in Līhuʻe, organizers announced on Feb. 26, 2026. The single-day convening brings the summit’s statewide focus to Kauaʻi County and centers youth programming at the county convention venue.

Kauai County issued the announcement outlining the April 28 gathering and the summit’s title, confirming Līhuʻe as the host community for this round of Ka Pewa activities. Organizers described the event as the second statewide Ka Pewa Youth Summit, signaling a repeat of the island-spanning initiative and an intention to draw participants from across Hawaiʻi to the Kauaʻi War Memorial Convention Hall.

Holding Kupu Kelakela at the Kauaʻi War Memorial Convention Hall places the summit in the county’s primary civic meeting space in Līhuʻe, where community groups and public events have traditionally gathered. Locating a statewide youth summit at that venue concentrates programming and logistics in Līhuʻe on April 28, with implications for event access and local transportation on the day of the summit.

The announcement on Feb. 26, 2026 establishes the calendar date and venue more than two months in advance of the convening. That lead time gives schools, youth organizations, and service providers on Kauaʻi and the neighboring islands a clear scheduling benchmark as they plan participation in the statewide Ka Pewa Youth Summit - Kupu Kelakela at the Kauaʻi War Memorial Convention Hall.

For now, the central facts are the summit’s name, the April 28 date, and the Līhuʻe venue. Organizers and county officials set the framework on Feb. 26, 2026 by confirming that the second statewide Ka Pewa Youth Summit - Kupu Kelakela will take place at the Kauaʻi War Memorial Convention Hall in Līhuʻe.
