The Pa'akai We Bring and Family Arts Fest

Saturday, February 1, 2025 • 1 PM

This original production introduces audiences to the Native Hawaiian relationship to pa‘akai (salt). Traditionally, pa‘akai is food, medicine, a sacrament, and a treasured gift. The play follows a family with multiple generations of salt farmers on Kauai, mixing in ancient stories, hula, live music, original songs, and plenty of audience participation into a tasty potluck of performance, joyously served up with aloha.

Join us from 11 AM–3 PM  for a day of art, family, and fun as we come together as a community for Family Arts Fest! During this jam-packed event, families will enjoy dancing with DJ Princess Ellie, eating yummy food and shaved ice from our complimentary food trucks, visiting animals from the So Cal Mobile Zoo, creating unique art projects, and much more! 

Complimentary tickets for The Pa'akai We Bring are available for families affected by the recent wildfires. Call 310.506.4522 or email cfabox@pepperdine.edu for more information.
