Mahalo nui loa to our incredible performers and hula hālau for your unwavering commitment and support of the Live Aloha Hawaiian Cultural Festival. Your willingness to share your talent — whether through the beauty of hula, the power of live music, or the richness of Hawaiian storytelling — is what breathes life into this festival and transforms Seattle Center into a true home away from home for our ʻohana in the Pacific Northwest.
Live Aloha Hawaiian Cultural Festival Guidelines for Performer Participation
Selections will be made to curate a diverse, well-rounded program that embodies the Festival's mission — perpetuating and sharing the arts, music, hula, and cultural traditions of Hawaiʻi.
The Festival is a family-friendly, culturally respectful event. All performances must align with the mission and values of the Live Aloha Hawaiian Cultural Festival.
To give the opportunity for as many Performers as possible, Performers will be scheduled for a 45 or 60 minute performance time starting at the time scheduled. This allows 10 minutes to set up the stage and 5 minutes to take down the stage following your performance and prepare for the next performer. (If you start late, that is deducted by cutting from your performance time.)
Due to safety and security concerns, we are continuing to restrict performing group sizes to a MAXIMUM of 35 total performers -- inclusive of musicians. In addition, each performing group is permitted no more than 5 backstage helpers.
By checking this box, I acknowledge and agree to abide by the Performer Guidelines.
