It's a beautiful day for paddling! Come enjoy the last day of the holiday weekend with your friends at Hana Hou 🎻🎵🌴🥗

Aloha! 🌺
We hope you’ll join us for a day of outrigger canoe paddling, music and fun at Hana Hou beach in Newport Harbor. Come for an outrigger paddle, picnic, sing, strum or just sit back and listen to music.

All musicians and skill levels welcome. Ukuleles, guitars, cajons, and other instruments have all shown up 😊. Sometimes there are ukulele lessons before Hana Hou starts (look for Free Ukulele Lessons on the Beach on meetup).
