Renowned kumu hula, “Aunty Emma” made it her mission to perpetuate hula and the Hawaiian culture so she created the Emma Farden Sharpe Hula Festival, which started in conjunction with Na Mele O Maui, a choir contest among Maui County schools, grades K-12, and continues today. Emma was one of the founders of Na Mele and added on a hula festival in her name. Sadly it phased out in the early 90's. We honor the renowned Emma Farden Sharpe, through a celebration of hula, auana (new) and kahiko (old).
