Five-strand laiki Ni`ihau shell lei
donated by Don Nigro of Antiques & Coins is now part of the permanant collection
of regalia for our Lei Day festival
This lei represents the island of Ni`ihau

There are many ways to support and celebrate your local Lei Day.
The first, and most important, is to
"make a lei, wear a lei, give a lei"
so that the history, heritage, and culture of this important cultural art form continues to live and grow.

The work of this festival continues year-round, providing cultural programs and classes in lei making and related topics, such as Hawaiian ethnobotany.
