Our History
Founded in 1970, Moanalua Gardens Foundation (MGF) has served as a vital link in preserving and protecting the environmental and cultural resources of Hawai‘i. A non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, our mission is
“To preserve and perpetuate the history, native culture and environment of Hawai’i through education and stewardship of Kamananui (Moanalua) Valley and celebration of the annual Prince Lot Hula Festival”
For the past four decades, MGF has pioneered programs which help people understand and appreciate the unique environmental and cultural resources of our islands. This knowledge is essential to developing informed stewards who will protect and preserve our fragile and vulnerable ‘āina.
In recent years, MGF has focused on educational and stewardship activities for Kamananui Valley. This year, we launched our new Mālama Kamamanui Environmental Education Program which includes experiential learning activities for all grade levels and began work on a comprehensive Management Plan for the protection, preservation and management of Kamananui Valley.
Prince Lot Hula FestivalSince 1978 on the third weekend in July, the annual Prince Lot Hula Festival has brought together premier hālau hula (hula groups) from throughout the islands for a daylong celebration of hula in a non-competitive setting. One of Hawai‘i’s most exciting cultural events, the festival allows thousands of island residents and visitors to experience the beauty and spirit of the Hawaiian culture. While we cannot gather in-person at a live event this year due to the pandemic, our festival will continue in a virtual format again this year.
