Description
The Merrie Monarch Festival is a week-long cultural festival that takes place annually in Hilo, Hawaii. It honors King David Kal�kaua, who was called the "Merrie Monarch" for his patronage of the arts and is credited with restoring many Hawaiian cultural traditions during his reign, including the hula Many h�lau hula (schools), including some from the U.S. mainland and some international performers, attend the festival each year to participate in exhibitions and competitions. The festival has received worldwide attention and is considered the most prestigious of all hula contests. Because the festival is so popular and tickets are so limited it is broadcast on a state-wide basis. This photo was actually taken from one of these broadcasts in HD. It was processed in a photoshop extension that came with my camera. Photograph is the copyright property of Craig Wood and cannot be copied or used without permission.
