Hula Makes You Happy

The Second Annual Ho'ike
Our Show in the Plaza


  Every year Hula Mai gives its thanks to the people of the town of Sonoma and the Sonoma Valley for supporting us so heartily throughout the year. Our dancers, band members, support folks, and Betty Ann all appreciate how fortunate we are to live here and dance in a place as wonderful as the Valley of the Moon. It is with so much aloha that we performed our show in the Grinstead Amphitheater for you in June, and that we are able to present it for your pleasure once again here, on this website.

Aloha Nui, from Hula Mai.
