Join us at a special evening for INCOSE, a private luau at the only remaining Waikiki Beach luau location. The Royal Hawaiian Resort is located on sacred grounds that were once the playground of Hawaiian royalty. In ancient times the Hawaiian people came together to celebrate momentous occasions. These gatherings were called Ahaaina (which translates to “gathering for a meal”). Today, we call it a Luau, a feast of food, song and hula. INCOSE will be treated to a modern yet timeless Ahaaina to honor the land’s majestic history and the Royal Hawaiian’s heritage. Celebrate with us!
