This week we’re kicking off one of our favorite Waikiki-based events: the annual Aloha Festivals! The Aloha Festivals is Hawaii’s premier showcase of music, dance, and history - which means it’s another opportunity for us to share the beauty of our culture with our guests and visitors. During Aloha Festivals, Outrigger Resorts is proud to host a series of musical performances and activities. Check out the full lineup below.
