Celebrating the Power of the Pacific at Whitworth’s 52nd Annual Lū‘au
This year’s theme is “Mana O Ka Pasifika” (“Power of the Pacific”). Guests will experience the customs and flavors of some of the major islands of the Polynesian Triangle including Hawai‘i, Samoa, New Zealand and Tonga.
Dinner will be served in the Hixson Union Building from 5-6:30 p.m., followed by the performance in the fieldhouse.
General admission tickets for both the dinner and performance are $35, and children ages 5 and younger are free. Tickets for the performance only are $25 for adults, $10 for seniors (65-plus), $8 for ages 6-12, and $15 for Whitworth students. Whitworth students with meal plans should purchase a performance-only ticket, as they can use their meal plan to attend the dinner.
