Each year Hōkūpaʻa hosts a Lūʻau to celebrate the continued existence and growing representation of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander identities on the Dartmouth campus. The lūʻau brings together the many different parts of the Dartmouth community to celebrate and learn about Hawaiian and Polynesian culture through food, song, and dance and has been voted the #1 student-organized event by the Office of Student Life. Over the past few years, the event has expanded from 150 attendees to over 1,000 attendees in 2025. 

 PLEASE NOTE:  Lūʻau is free, however food tickets are first come, first served and obtained at the check-in tables.
