Bishop Museum Concert Marks 50 Years of the Kahoʻolawe Protection Movement

Nov 12, 2026

A concert this weekend celebrates a 50-year-old movement that's seen as a win for Hawaiian land rights and cultural preservation.

  • The Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana marks 50 years since its first landing on the island, a campaign that eventually ended the military's long occupation and bombing of the island.
  • The group is hosting a concert on the great lawn at Bishop Museum, running in the evening.
  • Performers include Kimie Miner, Kaʻikena Scanlan, and Keahi Piʻiohiʻa.
  • Tickets are available through Bishop Museum.

Outlook: The event is a one-time anniversary celebration, with no indication of further related events announced.
