Four Days of Aloha, a celebration of Hawaiian arts and culture, returns to Vancouver, Washington, for its 22nd year Thursday-Sunday, July 25-28. During the festival, learn hula dance and how to make Hawaiian crafts. Take a cultural workshop. Relax outdoors to live music from award-winning artists, shop vendor booths, and sip a drink or two in the beer garden.

This year, the dance lessons and workshops are on July 25-26 at Gaiser Hall on Clark College’s main campus at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way. The workshop topics include making leis and jewelry, carving, painting, and beginning ukulele. Some workshops have filled, so register soon if you want to attend.

The other events are at Esther Short Park at West 6th and Columbia Streets in downtown Vancouver. Tickets are required for all events, except the Welcome Pāʻina on July 25 from 5 until 9:30 p.m., which is free.

Ticket pricing varies, depending on the events you choose and whether you want an all-day or weekend pass.
