Nā Moʻolelo Hawaiʻi

On Saturday October 18, 2025 Windward Mall will be the blank canvas for Nā Mo’olelo Hawaiʻi, an exciting new community event that wil support Heʻeia Fishpond and Paepae o He’eia. There will be something for everyone ~ high school visual storytelling competition, family mask-decorating, malama ‘āina booths, kids crafts and activities, and all kine stories (maybe some ghostly ones!) by Lopaka Kapanui, Moses Goods, and Keliko Hoe.

From 10 AM to 3 PM, join us in Windward Mall Center Court to decorate paper-mache masks. Each $15 mask kit includes one paper-mache mask, a box of 10 Classic Colored Markers, and a reserved table. Guests are encouraged to bring additional supplies (feathers, rhinestones, paint, etc.) to embellish their mask. Limited supply of mask kits available, so please make your reservations early!

Also, beginning at 10:00am we will host three (3) "Manawa Moʻolelo" story-telling sessions in the Windward Mall Regal Cinema Theaters. Guests will enjoy the cozy theater seats while our Master story tellers enthrall you with stories of Hawaii past and present. Each session will last 30 minutes and tickets for seats in each session can be purchased at checkout. Seating is limited so donʻt wait! Make your reservations early!

Along with the mask-making and story-telling, some of our amazing community organizations will be present with hands-on activities, information, games, food, and merchandise. Our friends at Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi, Papahana Kuaola, Kanehunamoku Voyaging Academy, Kanaeokana, and more will be there to share.

Don't miss this unforgettable experience! All proceeds from the event will support the restoration of the last 300 feet of kuapā (fishpond wall) at Heʻeia Fishpond. E hele mai!
