Stanford Lūʻau

The Stanford Lūʻau is a celebration of Hawaiian and Polynesian culture put on by Hawaiʻi Club in conjunction with Hui and Kaorihiva, with support from ASSU. Lūʻau features traditional and local-style Hawaiian food, live music performances, and traditional Polynesian dances such as hula and Tahitian. Held annually in spring quarter, Lūʻau honors and celebrates the often under-represented indigenous cultures of Polynesia, as well as the local culture and cuisine of Hawaiʻi, helping to increase their visibility on campus and spread awareness to the Stanford community.
