On Friday night, 18 hula halau presented 24 performances of hula kahiko, or ancient hula — 17 by wahine groups and seven by kane groups.

The same groups will dance hula ‘auana, or modern hula, Saturday night. At the end of the competition, the scores of the seven judges will be tabulated, winners announced and trophies awarded in all divisions. That includes the Lokalia Montgomery Perpetual Trophy, awarded to the overall winning halau.
