A lu'au is a Hawaiian feast of celebration. A lu'au is held at special beginnings or endings - a marriage, a child's first birthday, a retirement, a graduation. At lu'aus, festive clothing is worn. Flowers and leis are everywhere. Often there is kalua pig or laulaus, chicken lu'au, poi, lomi salmon, haupia, and more. Traditional Hawaiian music and dance follow the feast. Guests are often invited and encouraged to join in the singing and dancing....a joyful expression of the celebration of life.
