SUMMARY:Welcome Home Kōlea Festival (Oʻahu)
DESCRIPTION:Only in Hawaiʻi do kōlea, or the Pacific Golden-Plover, live in harmony with humans in backyards, city parks, and urban spaces. Every April these long-lived migratory shorebirds fly to Alaska to breed, returning in late summer to the same spot, where they capture the hearts of residents and visitors alike.\nJoin the Hawaiʻi Audubon Society and partners as we celebrate the return of these endearing native migratory birds to the Hawaiian Islands. We will have fun and games at Ala Moana Beach Park for all ages. Learn about the Hawaiʻi Audubon Society’s community science project, Kōlea Count, and ways residents and visitors can help researchers learn more about one of Hawaiʻi’s favorite native birds. Participate in guided mini bird counts, enjoy kōlea art work, and learn about the latest projects from our partners. Refresh yourself with samples of Kōlea Sparkling Hop Water and take a picture with our mascots, Aloha Kea and Kōlea Nui.\nDate: Saturday, September 19, 2026Time: 10:00am-2:00pmLocation: Magic Island, Ala Moana Beach Park, Site 31 (see map)\n****************\nCall for art: Submit your kōlea art now for display in the art tent during the festival.
