The Arizona Aloha Festival is a FREE event
Ever wonder how we keep it that way?
We here on the Festival Team want everyone to experience the warm hospitality and respect that is known as the 'aloha spirit.'
"Free" means everyone can come and the whole family is welcome.

Explore the ways you can help to keep it that way.

It's AMAZING!! We asked and you came!
The outpouring of help has staffed both Saturday and Sunday...but there's stuff to do for Set Up and Take Down!


Are you available Thursday 4-7 or Friday between 8 and 5 to Set Up?
Things like setting out stage chairs or tables? Or hanging banners?
Or help Sunday 4-7 to help with moving out of the park?

Like taking things down, packing, and putting them in storage?

for these few specialized positions, please email: azafvolunteers@ azalohafest.org

After Festival, there's still more to do!

ASU Gammage is hosting a production from New Zealand telling the true story of Te Aokapurangi, a young maiden from Rotorua, captured in battle by a tribe from the Far North who returned to single-handedly save her people from slaughter.

Her courage, determination and fearlessness inspired this production to tell her story in the Maori way with dance, music, and song.
ASU Gammage     Saturday March 23

Get them at the Information Station!

Keiki! Don't lose your Parents!

You know how it is. You are lookng around. Maybe you're watching a performance or stepping over to see the canoes. Or checking out that booth with the cool stuff inside. Or following that person to see what the enticing food smell is...you know, stuff.

And then it happens! You turn around and POOF! Your adult has wandered!

No worries! Go to the nearest Stage or Police Officer and tell them you've lost your parent. Show them the phone number on the band on your wrist, and they will help find that wayward Adult!

Some say it's all about the food...
The first thing you notice are the smells. Wonderfully delicious smells. Then the smoke wafting from here and there. What's on the plate that person is carrying? That looks GOOD!

This is the food of the islands...

Bring cash (or find our ATMS) because these aren't fast food chain restaurants! And many don't take electronic payment or credit cards.
