Allstar Weekend and Kolohe Kai Bring Down the Hale at the Polynesian Cultural Center

Today at Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), Allstar Weekend showed Hawaii fans why many consider them to be Disney’s “Next Big Thing.” The popular teen group, along with local homegrown favorite Kolohe Kai, didn’t just kick off the PCC’s summer season but showcased “A Different Side of …” PCC.
 
Excited fans anxiously waited in the PCC’s Pacific Theater to see Allstar Weekend’s inaugural Hawaii performance. The group definitely didn’t disappoint, immediately getting the crowd up on its feet right from the start by kicking off the concert with their hit song “A Different Side Of Me.” Despite the summer heat, Allstar Weekend continued to pump up the energy throughout the afternoon and, by the conclusion of their set, there wasn’t a single person sitting down and chants of, “hana hou!” could be heard throughout the venue.
 
Kolohe Kai opened the afternoon and had the crowd grooving to their reggae-influenced island music.

Waimea Valley’s Waihi Falls will get a much needed break starting July 1, 2011

Waimea Valley’s Waihi Falls will get a much needed break starting July 1, 2011

 

Waimea Valley, a living pu`uhonua and one of O`ahu's last partially intact ahupua`a, announces that swimming will not be permitted at Waihi Falls each Wednesday starting July 1, 2011. This will allow botanical specialists and maintenance staff the opportunity to make sure the waterfall and surrounding areas are getting the repairs and care they deserve.

According to Gail Ann Chew, Executive Director "Since opening to the public in February 2008, we've seen our attendance grow by 57%, and last year approximately 220,000 visitors were welcomed to the Valley".  With this massive amount of visitation, Waimea Valley believes to keep the area intact as well as provide the highest quality experience for visitors the one day a week is much needed.
