Saturday, April 29, 2023, at 7:30 p.m.

50th annual Lū'au & Hō'ike

Our 50th annual celebration consists of two parts: the Lū’au (traditional meal) will be held during three seatings at 4, 5 and 6 p.m. inside the Rutschman Fieldhouse. Then, at 7:30 p.m., the Hō’ike (dance) performances begin in Ted Wilson Gymnasium.


This year’s theme is “Maohi Nui” and celebrates the people of the Pacific. Expect a variety of traditional and modern dance, and even some poi (fire dancing) from Linfield students and the larger community.


Tickets for the dinner and performance are sold separately and range in price.

First-year student Taetum Lynn Kalani '25 was more than ready to dance in Linfield University’s 49th Annual Lu'au and Ho'ike. You could say that it all began with her grandfather’s Linfield hooded sweatshirt.

Each performance was a beautiful celebration of culture, community and art under the theme of No Ka Lāhui, which means “for the nation.” This phrase grew out of a movement to protect sacred Hawaiian land from desecration.
