More than 100 people settled on Hale Halawai’s lawn Saturday afternoon for the second annual Kailua Kanikapila Community Concert and Picnic. The lawn was filled with Hawaiian music lovers relaxing on their chairs, mats, the grass and a rock wall while listening to classic songs sung by multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award winner Darlene Ahuna and her band. As the sun approached setting, traditional Hawaiian music floated over Kailua Bay to the delight of the lounging array of picnic goers who either brought or bought their food for an informal sunset dinner. This community event was sponsored by Kailua Village Business Improvement District, Hawaii Tourism Authority and County of Hawaii.
