Group Hula Kahiko performed at 6 p.m., Friday, April 26, 2019, at Edith Kanakaʻole Stadium.

Hālau hula performed the group kahiko (ancient hula) portion of the competition.

Kahiko is a favorite amongst many hula fans due to the intense precise movements, chanting and showcasing of implements used during the ancient times.

Unlike the ‘auana competition on Saturday night, kahiko night features less flamboyant costumes.

Two divisions of group competition performed—the female (wahine) division and the male (kāne) division.

Each participating hālau must perform in both in the kahiko and auana competitions.

Each hālau will return to the stage Saturday night to present their group ‘auana(modern hula) number.
