An Italian summer tradition comes to Hawaiʻi! Join us for an enchanting evening celebrating the Night of San Lorenzo. We will gather to share stories and songs under the stars, exploring the poetic connection between Mediterranean celestial traditions and traditional Hawaiian wayfinding. The evening will feature an acoustic sing-along (guitars and ukuleles welcome!), an interactive linguistic game to share our wishes ("La Notte dei Desideri"), and a refreshing, traditional Cocomerata with fresh watermelon. 

We are thrilled to feature two live musicians on guitar and ukulele who will lead us in a fun, high-energy sing-along with popular Italian and American hits! We’ll also share a delicious community potluck picnic and enjoy our traditional mid-summer cocomerata (watermelon feast). So grab a beach chair, pack a cozy blanket, and come ready to relax, sing, and celebrate under the stars!"  

Admission: This event is completely FREE to attend, but registration on ourwebsite is required so we can organize the space and setup at the park.
