Nestled along the majestic Kona coast at the OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa, the Feast and Fire Lu’au invites guests to dine under the stars with breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains as their backdrop. Before the entertainment begins, an Artisan Village welcomes visitors with hands-on cultural activities including lei making, poi pounding demonstrations, and ʻOhe Kapala, alongside local craft vendors showcasing their work. The evening’s feast features a tantalizing buffet of locally inspired dishes such as slow-cooked kalua pork, island fresh catch, chicken long rice, and a poke bar, complemented by an assortment of local desserts and a full bar serving beer, wine, and signature Mai Tais.
As the sound of the conch shell echoes through the evening air and the torch lighting ceremony begins, the award-winning cast of Traditions Hawai’i takes the stage to transport guests through Hawaiian culture and history. Dancers, musicians, and artists bring traditional stories to life through authentic dance, live theater, and music, culminating in dynamic fire performances that illuminate the night. Throughout the evening, guests have opportunities to capture photo moments with the performers, creating lasting memories of this celebration of Hawaiian heritage along the beautiful Kona coastline.
