Event Entertainment
Each and every year our P.I.A.E. ‘Ohana solicits numerous local entertainers, and has since our very first Expo in 2012, to perform on the Main Center Stage to crowds of thousands throughout the entire 3-day Expo. Dozens of local entertainers take the stage, several each day, many from our 808 Island State, the mainland and beyond. P.I.A.E. crowds regularly enjoy both traditional dance performances as well as current dance crew routines and lots of other talented performers, many of whom have worked with our P.I.A.E. ‘Ohana for years. It’s a non-stop local Pa’ina ("Party") day after day, and everyone at our Expo will enjoy the beautiful music of many local Hawaiian bands, especially on Sunday “Family Day”.
Some of our musical performers from 2019 and earlier have included: Kapena, Kamuela, Rob West, Elijah Sky and T-Moss. Our 2019 and earlier cultural dance performers have included: Tevakanui, Heels Dance Crew, Shakti Dance and Tekniqlingz. Our P.I.A.E ‘Ohana has been so supportive of Hawaii entertainers & musicians for so many years that we are humbled to now be Voting Members of the famed HARA.
