By featuring ʻāina and practitioners from across Hawaiʻi, May Day will be a celebration of our island home and the beauty we must maintain in aloha ʻāina.” The broadcast will be another memorable chapter in the series of May Day concerts with the joint support of co-title sponsors, Hawaiian Airlines and the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority (through the Community Enrichment Program), and sponsors, Bernice Pauahi Bishop Musuem, the Hawaiʻi Visitors and Convention Bureau, Okinakalani Ltd., Studio Saki, Walmart, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikīkī Beach, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Piano Planet, the Mayor’s Office of Culture and the Arts and Kanileʻa ʻUkulele. “We’re pleased to once again extend our aloha to our May Day audience in Hawai‘i and abroad by showcasing the beauty of our island home through song, dance and storytelling and sharing with them the importance of caring for this special place,” said Robert Sorensen Vice President Marketing and E-Commerce at Hawaiian Airlines.
