Molokai Canoe Festivals Kulaia 2020 Cancelled

By Lori-Lei Rawlins-Crivello, Event Coordinator

It is with great aloha that we share this news. Due to safety and health concerns pertaining to COVID-19 and after serious consideration, the organizers and sponsors of the 2020 Molokai Canoe Festivals Kulaia Event, planned for Friday, Sept. 25, announces that the event will not be held this year. Let this be a period of rest and healing for us all. We feel it’s the right thing to do to ensure the safety of our residents, community and our island home of Molokai. We look forward to a special reunion in 2021. Mahalo nui and Malama pono!

The Na Wahine o Ke Kai and the Molokai Hoe Championship Canoe Races for 2020 as well as the Pailolo Challenge 2020 (Maui to Molokai) has also been cancelled.
