Aloha Friday show schedule set for Waikiki

One of the most quintessential Hawaiian experiences you can have is to hang out near the beach with family and friends along with great local food and great island music. That’s what’s in store at the Aloha Friday luncheon shows at the Kani Ka Pila Grille, located at Outrigger Reef Hotel in Waikiki.

Confirmed future dates are:  April 23, June 11, September 3 and November 12.  The luncheon takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes great island entertainment and a delicious buffet filled with island favorites like Grilled Mahi-Mahi, Laulau, Shoyu Chicken, Kalua Pork, Lomi Salmon, Fresh Salads, and more.

If the entertainment line-up is anything like past shows, it will definitely be excellent. Past guest performers have included award-winners Raiatea Helm, Na Leo, Brother Noland, Danny Couch and more.

The Aloha Friday luncheon show is priced at $25 per person tax/tip inclusive, with $5 validated valet parking. For reservations, call (808) 924-4990.

Good news, if you can’t be there in person, the luncheon show is broadcast live in Hawaii from 12 noon to 1 p.m. (HST) on AM940 and is also streamed live around the world on AM940Hawaii.com for all the enjoy.
