Welcome to our Ho’olaule’a on Molokai. We have events for everyone both land and ocean.

The Molokai Holokai Ho'olaule'a began in 2003 as Na Opio Hana Pa'a, a Celebration of Youth Opportunities. It involved a Maui to Molokai Challenge to bring ocean enthusiasts to Molokai. The event included community events and culminated in music and festivities at Malama Park. Over the years, the event evolved and adapted to community needs. However, Malama Park faced challenges and became unavailable.
