Entertainment and Shows In the Big Island Of Hawaii
The Big island Of Hawaii Entertainment and Shows
A visit to the Big Island of Hawaii would not be complete with a luau and a great place to experience one is at the Royal Kona. Run every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings be treated to a traditional Lei Greeting then enjoy a scrumptious all you can eat buffet with open bar. A great show with creative choreography from Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, and New Zealand. Regular prices are around $69 per adult and $26 for children with 5 year olds and younger being free.
Other entertainment includes jazz groups, Hawaiian music and Hula groups in local bars and clubs although some good events are often held at the Kahilu Theatre with all aspects of the performing arts being catered for.
An Evening Under the Stars at Kahua Ranch is a night that you will remember for years to come. Enjoy great food, with equally good entertainment, storytelling and fun activities whilst sitting around a campfire all on the slopes of the Kohala Mountains at an elevations of 3,200 feet. Learn about the history of the area, see the 8,500 acre working ranch and how it came to be. After a meal of sirloin steak, chicken, potatoes, corn on the cob, green salad and baked beans, you will have coffee and then shortly after sunset dessert.
Your entertainment consists of dancing, guitars, learn to rope, play horseshoes or learn to braid. Gaze at the stars through an 8-inch telescope and hear stories told by cowboys as you toast marshmallows on the campfire. The whole evening is only $89 that includes transport from you motel and back as well. Come back during the day to see how the ranch really works!
Naturally there are bars and restaurants dotted all along the coast which have live music of various kinds, dancing and of course karaoke. There are bars and restaurants that have a piano bar and host jazz and blues sessions as well. The Big Island also has the Big Island Comedy Club for those who want a laugh. These performances are weekly at the Royal Kona Resort.
For those who want to experience something a little more traditional the "Twilight at Kalahuipua'a," is a monthly Hawaiian cultural celebration of storytelling, singing, and dancing on the, grassy lawn at Mauna Lani Bay Resort. These nights recreate the times when family and neighbors would gather to sing, dance, and "talk story."
All resorts offer local entertainment in their restaurants, bars and lounges and many events are held poolside. Live music, singing and dancing combined with delicious meals are common place. Some larger resorts offer dinner shows such as the Hilton Waikoloa Village's Legends of the Pacific dinner show on Friday nights at a cost of $72 for adults and $36 for children 5-12.
There is always something to do in the evenings and many events are outdoors due to the beautiful warm climate of the Big Island of Hawaii.
