Ho'olokahi: Hawaiian Arts and Crafts at the Aston Wailea
You can experience the culture of Hawaii every Friday at the Aston Wailea. Director of Hawaiian Culture, Bill Boyd, has organized a very impressive collection of authentic crafts and art experiences to help share the culture of Hawaii. The grounds are filled with people demonstrating the crafts of Hawaii, and you can try your hand at it, too. The Aston Wailea looks out over a beautiful beach and the lobby area is open, airy and filled with the music of Jesse Nako'oka from 4 pm to 6 pm. Spend a few hours here and find harmony and peace of mind as you make a flower lei or try weaving lauhala. The management and staff have put a high priority on making the hotel provide a true Hawaiian ambiance and experience.
