Halau Hula ʻO Leilani Brings Free Weekly Hula to Coconut Marketplace Amphitheater
Kumu Hula Leilani Rivera Low leads free midweek hula shows at Coconut Marketplace amphitheater in Kapaʻa, with performances Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and a larger hoʻike this weekend.
Halau Hula ʻO Leilani — led by Kumu Hula Leilani Rivera Low — is presenting regular, free hula shows at the Coconut Marketplace amphitheater in Kapaʻa during the week, the venue and local calendars show. Coconut Marketplace lists a recurring show schedule at its outdoor amphitheater at 4-484 Kūhiō Highway, Kapaʻa, Hawaiʻi 96746, and promotes the performances as family-friendly entertainment for shoppers and visitors.
The Coconut Marketplace event page describes the program as an opportunity to “Take in traditional Hawaiian music, hula and Fire Knife Dancing at our free show, featuring Kumu Hula Leilani Rivera Low and Hālau Hula ʻO Leilani at our outdoor amphitheater!” The site lists the event titles as “Hula Show w/Fire Knife Dancer” for midweek evenings and “Live Local Music & Hula Show w/Fire Knife Dancer” at Thursday noon, and it promises that “Hālau Hula ʻO Leilani will take you on a musical journey from the past to the present and the dancers’ colorful dress and fragrant lei will leave you in awe.”
Schedule details vary slightly between the host venue and a local calendar. Coconut Marketplace gives specific durations of Wednesday and Friday shows from 5:00–5:45 p.m. and Thursday shows from 12:00–1:00 p.m. KauaiNow, the community calendar, lists the same recurring days but gives a broader Wednesday and Friday window of 5:00–6:00 p.m. Both sources identify Thursday noon shows from 12:00–1:00 p.m., and both describe the presentations as free; the venue’s event page is the more specific source for show durations.
Programming on the Coconut Marketplace listings highlights several performance elements residents can expect: traditional Hawaiian music, several styles of hula, and fire knife dancing or fire dancing. The Thursday noon listing pairs live local music with hula and fire performance, while the Wednesday and Friday listings emphasize a shorter hula-plus-fire-knife set. Promotional copy and the event titles used on the venue page and KauaiNow repeatedly reference the fire-knife element and the visual features of “colorful dress and fragrant lei.”
Beyond the free stage shows, Coconut Marketplace notes that Hālau Hula ʻO Leilani also offers Hula, Lei Making and ʻUkulele classes in a group or private setting, by appointment only. The original report supplied with the event listings adds that the same hālau “is staging a larger hoʻike performance this weekend,” though the sources provided no date, time, ticketing or venue details for that hoʻike.
Practical logistics available in the listings include the venue address, 4-484 Kūhiō Highway in Kapaʻa, and the venue descriptor “family-friendly gathering place in Kapaʻa.” Coconut Marketplace’s event page also carries a photography credit to Keith Ketchum and standard site notices such as copyright and privacy language. For the most specific show durations and program titles, the Coconut Marketplace event page is the primary listing; KauaiNow serves as a corroborating community calendar that lists the recurring Wednesday, Thursday and Friday shows.
