Many Mahalos to everyone for making this year's Ukulele Exhibition a huge success! This event was 100% volunteer run, and could not have taken place without the generosity of many people.

The Keep It Hawai‘i program was created in 1991 as a way to formally recognize businesses, organizations and individuals who year-round work to maintain and preserve Hawai‘i’s unique culture.

The Keep it Hawai‘i awards showcases the incredible commitment being made statewide by community-minded people and companies devoted to perpetuating Hawai‘i’s culture and heritage. The entrants are recognized for the work they do every day to help make Hawai‘i such a uniquely exhilarating experience for our visitors and kama’aina alike.
