Join us in learning the mindful art of making songpyeon from scratch, a delicious traditional Korean rice cake with a modern touch. This workshop is hands-on, beginner-friendly, and fun!
Songpyeon is a traditional dessert enjoyed during Chuseok, Korea’s mid-autumn harvest festival. Families gather to make songpyeons as a communal activity rooted in Korean culture.
This delicate dessert is gluten-free. Ingredients include Fresh Rice Flour, Salt, Water, Honey, Sesame Seeds, Brown Sugar, and Sesame Oil.
Shana Lee is a Korean American born and raised in Hawai’i. Her journey with Korean desserts began when she first tasted baekseolgi, a fluffy and chewy steamed rice cake. She was fascinated by its delicate simplicity and unique texture.
Shana fell in love with Rice Blossoms’ unique style and modern take on rice cakes, which wonderfully blends tradition with elegance. Discovering Korean desserts’ beauty and rich history has been a heartfelt and gratifying adventure. As part of Rice Blossoms, she is excited to educate and share these delightful creations with the people of Hawai’i. Through each dessert, Shana hopes to bring a little sweetness, a lot of aloha, and the perfect blend of tradition and modern artistry for you to enjoy!
Rice Blossoms is frequently hosted as a pop-up at the Ala Moana Nordstrom, Mori, Anthropologie, and Bloomingdale’s.

Pō & the 4Fathers – TICKETS HERE
A New Perspective
Pō & the 4Fathers is a unique musical experience that delivers a lyrical message that is powerful and clear with a modern Kanaka Maoli perspective. The band is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture, Polynesian rhythms, and indigenous sounds, as well as the music that has moved generations like reggae, soul, blues, funk, and hip hop. They write songs of joy, hardship, pain and triumph, learned from shared experiences from the time of Pō to the present, and into the future.
The New Sound
Through their connection with the Mana Maoli Collective the stars above Aotearoa aligned and a convergence of indigenous Hawaiian music like no other sprung up at the Pasifika Vibes Festival. Over a kanoa of ‘awa a musical bond was established. Many influences merged into a new sound, songs were shared and written, and a deep brotherhood was formed. Pō & the 4Fathers emerged creating a new style, sound, and impactful message that represents the forward movement of Maoli music.

2025-07-08 17:00 - 19:00 | Princeville Community Center, 4334 Emmalani Rd., Princeville, HI, 96722, United States
The Princeville Moʻolelo free lecture series will continue on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, with a special talk on the Koloa Maoli, or Hawaiian duck (Anas wyvilliana). Once widespread across all islands, Koloa Maoli are now only found on the islands of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau. This talk will begin with a brief overview of the Koloa Maoli, including how its ancestors arrived in Hawai‘I, and evolved into a unique species deeply intertwined with the islands’ ecosystems.
The presentation will then explore threats that have led to the species’ decline, including habitat loss, predation by introduced animals, and the particularly significant threat posed by introduced mallards. The core of the presentation will focus on current conservation efforts, highlighting an upcoming translocation project aimed at reestablishing Koloa Maoli populations on islands where they have been extirpated. These efforts, led by dedicated conservation teams, seek to restore Hawai‘i’s wetland ecosystems and ensure the survival of the Koloa Maoli for generations to come. The talk will conclude with ways the public can support this critical work, from spreading awareness to engaging in community conversations about native species conservation across Hawai‘i.
Free Lecture Series: Tuesday, July 8, 2025 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Princeville Community Center. The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For more information, visit www.kauairefuges.org/princeville-moolelo.

Show Date
Saturday, July 26th, 2025
Junior Toots
Junior Toots, son of the legendary Toots Hibbert of Toots & The Maytals was born and raised in St Mary, Jamaica. Junior Toots began singing stage shows at a young age touring internationally with his late father Toots Hibbert who was a mainstay reggae artist on the world stage for over twenty years. Junior Toots has an ever-growing fan base as he has been captivating audiences of all ages far and wide with his electrifying high-energy performances, soul-filled vocals and socially relevant lyrics. His music is up tempo ska and reggae which generates great crowd responses.
In the midst of the current social turmoil, Junior Toots stays positive and focused on his music career and on being the change he wishes to see. From 1997 until 2020 Junior Toots toured with his father Toots and the Maytals, performing some of his own songs such as “Holding Firm,” and “Jah Give Us Victory,” as well as doings some of his father’s songs such as “Funky Kingston” and “54 46”. He has also been steadily recording his own material as well as working on collaborations with other artists. Junior Toots has released five albums called Crown of Fire, Reggae Got Soul, Junior Toots and the Stronghold, A Little Bit of Love and Guidance Star. A Little Bit of Love hit #10 on the NACC World Charts. Junior Toots has also released many singles such as “Heart of the City” with GRW, “Physically Spiritually”, “His Name” with Akwerius and “Sweet and Dandy”, which was a tribute to his father. The idea to record “Sweet and Dandy” came from Toots Sr. who produced the track for his son which was released on December 8, 2020 to mark the day that would have been the 78th birthday for the recently transitioned Toots Hibbert or “Nyah” as he was called by his family. Other singles include “Green Lights” with GRW “Love The Herbs” and “Love Is The Best”
Sept 1, 2022 Junior Toots released the single, “Fayah Fi Di Wicked” featuring King Kanashi from the Virgin Islands and Blessed San from Uganda on his Crown of Fire Record Label. About the new single, Junior Toots shares, “This is a universal collaboration talking about the stress and frustration that the whole world is feeling – This is a prayer for the sick, this is prayer for the poor, this is a prayer for the people them living outdoors. This is a prayer for the poor, this is a prayer for the sick. Prayers for the people them living in the sticks”
Junior Toots songs are featured on movie and tv sound tracks such as Justice, which was re-named Youth Suffer, which was on Luke Cage (Netflix), The Wannabe (Electric Entertainment), Unfinished Business (Century Fox), Wetlands (Sundance Film Festival), Nuit De La Glisse / Addicted to Life.
Junior Toots has performed on many festivals including The Sierra Nevada World Music Fest, Reggae on the River, Reggae on the Mountain, San Francisco Reggae Fest, Bethlehem Pennsylvania Steal Fest, Reggae in the Hills, Musik Fest and The Seattle Hempfest.
Having the essence of Jamaica, a strong love for Jah and the Rastafarian culture, Junior Toots expresses the wisdom of his life-learning’s in his music and his live shows and in everyday life.
“I aim to continue spreading peace among people of all creeds, religions and color through my music and philanthropic missions. After witnessing so much violence in my homeland, I vowed at an early age to promote goodness, fairness and equality in all I do and with those I am blessed to work with. It’s what drives the music I write and present to the world,”…… Junior Toots

Anuhea
Anuhea embodies the perfect blend of talent, determination, passion, and Hawaiian sunshine. A singer-songwriter from Maui, she has over 15 years of experience in the music industry, carving out a unique space for herself by combining everything from island reggae, acoustic soul, pop, and even hip-hop into a sound that is honest, emotional, and unmistakably her own.
Her catalogue of self-written songs has garnered multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year in 2019, and she has been featured on both Grammy-nominated and Grammy-winning albums. However, referring to her solely as a musician does not capture her full range of talents. Anuhea is also an actor, graphic designer, creative director, merch maker, tour planner, website builder, content creator, and a full-time mom. From album covers and logos to tour posters and social media visuals, if you see something with her name on it, there’s a good chance she created it herself.
Her latest album, “Lotus” commemorates 15 years since her debut and reflects the growth, strength, and self-discovery that come from forging one’s own path through all of life’s seasons. Anuhea skillfully balances her full-time music career with raising her son, Ikena Jack, who began touring with her even before he was born. Additionally, she gives back to the community through her mental health podcast “Just Keep Jamming”, her work with local non-profits and mentorship programs, and her Aloha Always Foundation provides scholarships for Hawai’i students.
Whether performing on a festival stage or jamming with keiki in a school gym, Anuhea infuses humility, humor, and heart into everything she does. She is not just Hawai‘i’s sweetheart; she is a one-woman creative force with a voice, a vision, and a supportive community behind her.
