The Koʻolau Limu Festival is an annual, family-friendly cultural event held at Anahola Beach Park on Kauaʻi that celebrates the traditional and contemporary significance of limu (Hawaiian seaweed). The festival brings together cultural practitioners, educators, conservationists, and community members to honor ancestral knowledge, promote environmental stewardship, and strengthen connections to Hawaiʻi’s coastal resources.

Through live music, hula and cultural performances, hands-on workshops, educational exhibits, and local food vendors featuring limu, the event provides an immersive learning experience centered on sustainability, cultural preservation, and community engagement. The festival serves as both a celebration and an educational platform dedicated to protecting native limu species and perpetuating traditional practices for future generations.
